Learner Driven

Personalized Learning is a Learner Driven approach to education that empowers students to take ownership of their learning, co-construct goals, make choices and collaboratively monitor their progress.  This helps learners build a sense of efficacy to approach complex and challenging tasks with a sense of confidence and embrace failure as a learning opportunity.  Learners experience agency as the active driver of their own learning through goal setting.

Indicators of a Learner Driven Classroom include:

1.1 Learners set goals and make choices about how to accomplish them.

1.2 Learners monitor progress towards future goals with appropriate instructional support.

1.3 Learners and educators collaborate to develop profiles that provide a narrative of their assets, barriers to learning, needed supports and future career goals.

Learner Profiles

Goal Setting For Learner Agency

Learner Driven Progress Monitoring
