The Principal of Change

I have been following George Couros on Twitter for some time now. He is an inspirational  US school principal who believes that classrooms need to be learner focussed. George is also an Innovative Teaching, Learning and Leadership consultant. He is well worth following on your own PLN. He has come up with 8 things that he believes will help today's  learner be successful. The 8 things are elements that you would discover in a personalised learning environment where learners are self directed and self motivated.
Sylvia Duckwork created the fabulous visual above that represents the 8 things which are:

• Voice
• Choice
• Time for reflection
• Opportunities for innovation
• Critical thinkers
• Problem solvers
• Self Assessment
• Connected Learning

Read George's blog post for further explanation of these 8 elements
