HI There

 
As discussed, the task for the Weds afternoon meeting is to use the learner sketch tool, in
your staffrooms or in a group – your choice.
 
 
1.     Go to http://www.facesoflearning.net/
 
 
2.     Click on explore your learner sketch.  – follow the instructions , it will take around 15
mins. (Be patient as it takes a couple of minutes to load.)
 
 
3.     Share your learning profile with your team/staff in your office.
 
4.     Think about its application in your classroom.
 
5.     Check out the learner sketch website – some cool information.
 
Have a bit of fun with it….
 
Think of this as learning how to learn… what a powerful tool to teach kids!

Subject: Introducing the Learner Sketch tool
 
Tired of hearing what's wrong in education - with students, parents,
teachers, schools? Imagine if our conversation focused instead on how people
learn, and how we can create better learning environments for everyone.

As part of an effort to spur such a conversation, the QED Foundation has developed an exciting new
interactive tool built upon the All Kinds of Minds neurodevelopmental framework and related content.
 
The Learner Sketch (available at www.facesoflearning.net) invites users to explore their own learning
strengths and challenges among the various mental processes that influence learning. Rather than just
categorize the user as a certain "type" of learner, the Learner Sketch feedback actually suggests strategies
users can try to help them become even more effective learners.

The Learner Sketch is part of a new national campaign, Faces of Learning, that hopes to engage communities
in exploring answers to questions like:
 What if each of us had the chance to discover -- and contribute -- our full worth and potential to
the world?
 What if each of us could identify our own strengths and weaknesses as a learner?

 What if all of us came to both expect and demand high-quality learning environments throughout
our lives?
Tired of the polarizing rhetoric? Interested in shifting the national conversation about public education? Let’s
stop asking what is broken or who is to blame. Join us in asking how to create places for children and adults
that are more challenging, engaging, relevant, supportive, and experiential.
