Planning for Learner Success

Module 6 Summary

Review the guiding questions and key points of Module 6 and think about the ideas and materials you have created that can be used in your classroom, facilitation, or planning to help improve learner learning.

Module Questions:

• How can I help my learners become self-directed learners?
  
  
• H ow can I support the diverse needs of learners?
  

Module 6 Key Points:

• Transitioning to a learner-centred classroom demands adjustments from both learners and teachers:
  
  
  • Teachers must work with learners to help them develop self-direction skills
    
    
  • Learners must take an active role in their own learning
    
• Teachers can differentiate learning in four ways:
  
  
  • Content
  • Process
  • Products
  • Learning Environment
    
    
• Teachers can look at learning styles in several ways, including visual-kinesthetic-auditory, left brain/right brain, and multiple intelligences
  
  
• Accommodating the needs of all learners requires appropriate scaffolding so that learners become confident, independent learners

In the following modules, you will build on these concepts as you discuss implementation strategies for your project and the effective management of ICT.
