LEARNER PROFILE ACTIVITY TEMPLATE

As we begin our focus on the learner, let’s take a look at the learners you currently have in
class. If you are not currently teaching, work with a colleague to obtain the profile data. This
data will be the foundation you build upon for your learner-centered, project-based topic. (Note:
you will type over the items in green; this is just a reminder of what is needed for each
