• Individual attention?
• Self-directed learning?
• Tailored Curriculum?
• None of the above?

The BETT 2009 homepage has a poll on the right hand side of the page. After some deliberation, I went for ‘tailored curriculum’ and found myself in the majority (a fairly unusual position for me). I was dithering over ‘none of the above’ for some 30 seconds or so however.

I’m thinking more of Vygotsky and his Zone of Proximal Development and the student having someone [ or a system? ] that knows them, their cognitive style and how to challenge them just enough so as not to overload or bore.
