Big Picture Distinguisher: 3

Distinguisher #: Personalisation: One Student At A Time

Individual Learning Plans and the Learning Goals

Each student has different strengths, passions, interests, needs and learning preferences. Therefore, each student has a focussed, individual Learning Plan that is tailored to meet those individual interests and needs. This plan is the map of a student’s journey through their Big Picture school experience and will be at the forefront of all their work. The Advisory teacher ensures the Learning Plans focus on different Learning Goals throughout the year leading to a well-rounded educational plan.

At the Launceston Big Picture School, we set high standards for student work which culminates in a highly personalised Learning Plan.  The Learning Plan includes six Learning Goals that have been identified as the key for all students to become successful learners.  The Learning Goals cut across all learning areas, and do not distinguish between academic and vocational pathways. Students relate all the work they do in and out of school to this set of Learning Goals. Every student’s curriculum is created around personal interest.
