What is special about our programmes-personalised learning
• ISS has developed a personalised learning programme to be offered to all students from August 2020
• All students will have their own learning plan based on their own learning needs
• The plan is based on data we gather and analyse on each individual student
• All students develop personal goals:– In each of their subjects– Related to the skills necessary to learn effectively (study habits, note
taking, research etc)– Related to their contribution to our community (service, ECAs etc)
• Programme is being field tested ready for August 2020• We are one of very few schools world-wide to have truly
embraced this approach- a proven method to improve student achievement.
