Is student-centred
Personalised learning, also referred to as student-centred learning, places the personal learning needs of each student as the primary goal of education, rather than what may be the preferred, more convenient or logistically easier option for teachers. According to 'The Great Schools Partnership', personalised learning is:
"intended to facilitate the academic success of each student by first determining the learning needs, interests, and aspirations of individual students, and then providing learning experiences that are customized—to a greater or lesser extent—for each student." 1
Key components
There is a general consensus that the key components of personalising learning are:
  • learning how to learn
  • assessment for learning
  • a portfolio of effective teaching and learning strategies
  • curriculum choice
  • mentoring and support
Includes target-setting linked to high-quality assessment
David Miliband, an early advocate of personalised learning in the U.K. gave a speech in which he proposed that:
"decisive progress in educational standards occurs where every child matters; careful attention is paid to their individual learning styles, motivations, and needs; there is rigorous use of pupil target-setting linked to high-quality assessment; lessons are well paced and enjoyable; and pupils are supported by partnership with others well beyond the classroom." 2
Provides clear pathways through the system
Miliband later went on to state that
"Personalised learning means every student enjoying curriculum choice, a breadth of study and personal relevance, with clear pathways through the system.” 3
