Personalizing Learning by John West-Burnham

Personalizing Learning by John West-Burnham

Most schools have improved significantly over the past ten years. The quality of teaching is better than it has ever been and yet there is a sense that schools are still not meeting the needs of all young people. The answer to this challenge is personalizing learning; a switch from the school to the learner - from the needs of the system to the needs of the person. This book presents both a manifesto and a model for the personalization of learning. It combines emerging theories of learning with best professional practice to support schools in developing their own way of moving from improvement to transformation.

West-Burnham, Max Coates and a team of contributors have lifted the veil on personalised learning.. ... a powerful and necessary restatement of original principles ... useful for every school leader ... should be compulsory reading for all in education ... should be issued to everyone at the QCA as bedside reading. -- Tim Brighouse, Chief Adviser to the London Schools Challenge
