PERSONALISED LEARNING

1. PERSONALISED LEARNING TODAYS QUESTIONS • What is Personalised Learning? • What factors influence Personalised Learning? • What do we know about effective conditions for learning? • What is effective ownership of learning? • What have we done and what’s next? • Where will we be in four years time?

2. 2020 Vision Report of the Teaching and Learning Review Group Personalised Learning is… Learner centred and knowledge centred Learning is connected Learners create hypotheses Learners coach each other (talk!) Learners set goals for themselves, monitor their progress and experiment with ideas

3. And assessment centred Learners monitor their own progress With their teachers, they identify next steps Time is always given for reflection Individually or in pairs, they review what they have learned and how they have learned it. They know their achievement and make progress towards their goals.

4. Personalised Learning is not… • An individual curriculum for every child Each child learning what they want Every child doing something different Lesson plans for each child in the class

5. Assessment for learning (impact and target setting) 2. Effective teaching and learning strategies. (high expectations, collaboration) FACTORS INFLUENCING PERSONALISED LEARNING 4. School organisation (systems, change management, resourcing) 3. Curriculum organisation (breadth, relevance and flexibility) 5. Partnerships beyond the school (families, I.T., transition to/ from school, visits and visitors)

6. I know how I learn best This isn’t working, but I know what I can do If I did that again I know what I would do differently. REFLECTIVE LEARNING… IS ABOUT LEARNING TO LEARN.

7. TAKING OWNERSHIP OF LEARNING Assessment for Learning (AfL) Learning How to Learn Coming to a shared understanding of learning goals and how to achieve them Developing the skills and attitudes to become better learners [QCA Thinking skills] [AND “a relentless focus on ‘keeping up’”.] Pupil Voice Establishing the habit of talking about learning and how to improve it

8. Where are we now? ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING: Self and peer assessment based on shared learning objectives (WILF), e.g. thumbs up/ down; smiley faces; two stars and a wish Targets set and shared in reading writing and maths (Y1 to Y6) Accuracy of teacher assessment by using Classroom Monitor leading to better planning and target setting PUPIL VOICE Pupil involvement in planning, e.g. mind mapping at start of themes Good talk in problem solving and explaining, e.g. maths. Talking about their own and others work/ learning LEARNING TO LEARN Introduced four components of teamwork, think, link and imagine, stickability and look back, look ahead.

9. What more can we do? ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING: Introduce Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) Monitoring visits focus on improving AfL More self and peer assessment AND more accuracy PUPIL VOICE: More partner work More involvement in curriculum content Self and peer assessment increasingly focuses on HOW to improve LEARNING TO LEARN: Extend what we do into QCA ideas for Thinking Skills

10. Think, link, imagine Look back, look ahead Creative Thinkers Independent Enquirers Reflective Learners Team workers Self-Managers Effective Participators Stickability Teamwork Actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them (OfSTED gave us a ‘1’ for this!) QCA THINKING SKILLS

11. New self-evaluation sheets for children.

12. TEAMWORK (in Y5 and Y6) 1=high, 4=low These are the same criteria as in Y3/ Y4 Spaces under each statement Y5 & Y6 learners to write in WHY… more reflection! Good listening has had to be TAUGHT What do these mean? What do they look like? Like ‘good listening’, these skills have to be taught and reinforced

13. THINKING SKILLS TIMETABLE 3 TEAMWORK activities this term (3 sheets completed by each child) 3 THINK, LINK AND IMAGINE by end Feb. 09, one more TEAMWORK between Jan. 09 an end of Feb. 3 STICKABILITY activities between March and mid-May 09, plus one of TEAMWORK and one of THINK, LINK AND IMAGINE 3 LOOK BACK … LOOK AHEAD activities between mid-May 09 and end of year, plus one of each of the previous others From Sept 09, one of each of the four learning skills areas each term. This means thinking skills have to be planned for. The sub-skills discussed/ taught Learners must then be given the opportunities to employ the thinking skills and self-evaluate themselves.

14. What is Personalised Learning? We looked at the 2020 vision of the teaching and learning review group and what personalised learning is and what it is not. What factors influence Personalised Learning? We looked at how AfL, effective teaching and learning, partnerships beyond the school, curriculum and school organisation all play a part. What do we know about effective conditions for learning? We looked at cartoon pictures to consider a range of effective learning conditions.. What is effective ownership of learning? We looked at how AfL, Learning How to Learn and Pupil Voice are involved What have we done and what’s next? We have considered developments made, heard about APP, using AfL as the monitoring focus and QCA Thinking Skills will be introduced. PERSONALISED LEARNING RECAP • What is Personalised Learning? • What factors influence Personalised Learning? • What do we know about effective conditions for learning? • What is effective ownership of learning? • What does Personalised Learning look like? • What have we done and what’s next?

15. BY THE END OF 2012 Standards will be raised because children know where they are, where they have to get to next and know how to get there Children identify own ‘Next Steps’ (targets). All children will have a ‘Learning Platform’ (ICT). Learners know and use National Curriculum and Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) criteria School and home access to work, personal data, assessments. Children will know their strong and weak ‘Thinking Skills’ ‘Pupil Voice’ will be significantly greater. Accurate self and peer assessment, curriculum planning, TALK QCA thinking skills allow children to learn how to learn better

16. I’ll find out ! So… what do I need to learn next? That’s it ! Now I will… How well did I do? Let’s try it! Our vision... Seeing learners...
