Student Learning Profile (SLP)

1. Student Learning Profile (SLP) Exploring….. Session 3 Students tell their own stories…..

2. The main objective: To reflect a fuller picture of the students in terms of whole person development

3. What is SLP? Every student should be encouraged to build up a personal profile for recording their learning experiences during the senior secondary years. • Academic performance in school; • Other Learning Experiences; • Awards / achievements gained outside schools; & • Student’s ‘self-account’ (e.g. impressive learning experiences, career goal setting & etc.)

4. Activity: Design your ideal SLP…… ?

5. What do you want to be put in SLP? Employers Universities Students Teachers Parents Multiple perspectives

6. Will SLP be considered in university admission? Universities will consider taking account in their selectiona broader range of information about student achievementsin different areas and provide students the opportunity to demonstrate that they possess the range ofcompetencies and personal qualitiesthat they will need to benefit from undergraduate education. (HUCOM, 2006) We will continue to give broad support to the implementation of OLE and are ready to recognise SLPs as documents of good reference value. Practical arrangements will also be made to facilitate the use of the SLP as a reference document in the admission process from 2012. (HUCOM, 2008)

7. Design Schools will have full discretion over the design of their SLP, including: • The format • The content • The level of detail required • The implementation process
