Personalized Learning Vlog: Episode 4

In this episode, we focus on the Learner Profile. Thank you to Personalized Learning Steering Committee members Charri Trembly, Suzanne Satterfield, and Patti Griffith, who make up the Learner Profile sub-committee. Their work is focused on ensuring all staff and students understand the purpose of the Learner Profile, as well as on analyzing the strengths and challenges related to the usage of our current Learner Profile tool. Their work will inform revisions to both the process for supporting student reflection within the profile and the actual tool itself. Listen HERE to learn more about their work and how you can have a voice in future iterations of the Kaneland Learner Profile.
