ActivitiesDeveloped observation grid to evaluate the good practice in the two countries of knowledge transfer:• Denmark • Finlandhttp://www.teaching-map.eu/outcomes/mapping-quality-grid/

Under took observations and interviews with students, teachers and managers in both countries and defined what individualised study planning meant to us based on best practice.

Key findings - Denmark

Use of monitoring, ILP, marking &

feedback software for teachers,

learners, employers, parents - Elevplan

Individualised task choice with common assessment goals, lots of independent learning in spaces around

the classroom – little didactic teaching, more

project based task development Every learner brought

their own laptop to class, enabled independent

learning

When learning topics, learners could choose to stay and learn

didactically or go off and do work independently and then

seek help when stuck - differentiation

Ysbrydoli Arloesi Llwyddo - Inspire Innovate Succeed

Key findings - FinlandMore structured in

terms of task setting – but high levels of differentiation with individual learning planning – pace of learning and units

chosen

Lots of blended learning opportunities for selected units – use

of social media to develop learning

communities l Very high quality teacher training focussing on active

learning methods and learning technologies

Vocational learning as academic learning – e.g. agriculture and bio-

sciences, study languages and science alongside vocational

subjects

Not the option for less able learners
