This book draws together the threads of the Personalising Learning agenda and makes sense of it in the primary classroom. With its practical advice and resources based on years of experience this is a great book for teachers and managers who value learning over content.

Personalising learning is increasingly seen as a significant strategy to help schools raise standards; respond to the Every Child Matters agenda and to secure the achievement of every child. Elaine Wilmot has written a comprehensive, detailed and authoritative resource for schools which will support the movement towards personalizing learning. Her book is a combination of theory and practice with an emphasis on practical and proven strategies to support the focus on the effective learning of every child. The book offers a wide range of practical resources to support the work of teachers and school leaders. Personalising Learning in the Primary School is an important contribution to the growing literature on personalizing learning. Elaine Wilmot s book will support strategic planning and policy making, team planning, CPD activities and, most importantly, teachers work in the classroom.

Dr Wilmot is to be congratulated on her dedication and generosity in offering a practical and user friendly guide to primary practitioners on the nuts and bolts of personalising learning for primary pupils. It is evident from Dr Wilmot s suggestions that this book has been thoroughly road tested in real classrooms, and offers workable strategies to the busy teacher. In particular it offers innovative systems for assessing personalised learning involving the students in understanding and becoming responsible for managing their own learning and assessment. Dr Wilmot s practice builds on established work in the field of research into how we learn and her gift is to take the philosophy of lifelong learning, including building self awareness of one s own strengths and development areas. I am very excited at the practice of flexible learning paths being standard in the primary school. Using this book, primary practitioners have a resource that can be used to develop the school curriculum around personalising learning with suggestions for planning, teaching activities, assessment and core policies to underpin the way forward in offering young people the chance to realise their potential and sustain a love of learning for the rest of their lives. I can recommend Dr Wilmot s book as a long needed addition to the staffroom bookshelf to be read by all staff so that it is well thumbed, coffee stained and USED !!

Reseña del editor:

Personalising learning is the hot topic on the government's education agenda. It is seen to be the way forward to get the very best out of every child and it forms the focus of this timely new book by Crown House Publishing. Personalising Learning in the Primary Classroom will: Challenge the schools' thinking about how they teach; Encourage schools to put the learner at the heart of the educational agenda; Support primary schools in their work to meet this challenge; Consider all aspects of learning and teaching in the primary school; and Provide useful questions for the reader to consider their own working practices in the context of personalising learning. Personalising learning is seen as a powerful solution to reforming our current education system in order to meet individual learning needs and thereby raise standards. Where current thinking has personalising learning in the secondary sector, the author argues that for personalising learning to be successful, children must start making real choices about their learning from the earliest age and must be guided and coached through their primary years rather than being taught in the traditional way. She argues that the curriculum should be made to fit the child rather than the child being pushed through the 'sausage-factory' education systems as it currently stands. The book is packed with practical ideas that have been tried and tested in a real school and have proved popular with staff, parents and pupils (and Ofsted). It considers all aspects of learning and teaching in the primary school and provides useful questions for the reader to consider their own working practices in the context of personalising learning.
