Personalised learning
Personalised learning currently has a high profile within education, particularly for gifted and talented learners.
But what does it mean in practice?
2020 Vision: Report of the Teaching and Learning in 2020 Review Group presents a vision of how personalised learning should look in schools.
What do you think? Is it practical and achieveable?
Assessment for learning: QCA have produced a poster showing the 10 principles of assessment for learning. This is a very useful tool!

Choice and voice: a parent's view
Columnist Deborah Orr makes her point about a parent's choice in The Independent:
'No matter what they say, my local school is still not good enough to send my kids there.'
http://comment.independent.co.uk/columnists_m_z/deborah_orr/article34837...
'What needs to be tackled', she argues, 'is the sterile and literal approach to the concept of comprehensive education that demands that all children should be treated not equally but the same.'
Do you agree?
Thanks for making my blood boil Nicole!
It's nice to get a bit fired up about what people say every now and then - even if they are not worth it! But I'm sure it does me some good to get my blood pressure up a bit.
Ive decided that my standard response to this kind of hilarious account (I particularly like the bit in which, while railing against illiteracy she completely reveals her innumeracy!), is to say "oh yes, please do send your child to a different school - because then the fantastic local school you are shunning has smaller class sizes which will really benefit my children!"
