Learning Support. 3. Devising Individual Learning Programmes.
Faraday, Sally; Harris, Richard
Designing individual learning programs is the subject of this document, one of 9 modules within an 11-unit resource pack designed to help trainers and postsecondary and continuing education staff meet the needs of special needs students in Great Britain. Having completed the module, staff should be able to: (1) describe the learner-centered approach; (2) outline the steps in designing an individual learning program; (3) describe ways to identify special needs; (4) list ways in which a course or program may be modified to meet special needs; (5) involve the learner in production of program plans; and (6) design individual programs for learners with special needs. The module contains two sections. Section 1 provides a rationale for individualizing learning programs and describes them as a means by which a learner-centered approach can be implemented. Section 2 describes the steps in designing such programs, including collecting and interpreting information; considering program aims and objectives in relation to learner characteristics, needs, and interests; preparing a provisional plan; negotiating with the learner; and monitoring progress. The module contains 11 exercises. (CML)
