The ministerial view

• "The experience of successful schools shows
  (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.
• This is what I mean by Personalised Learning.
• David Miliband

The DfES view

• Personalised learning is not a new initiative...
  It is a philosophy that is being embedded in
  current initiatives ..... to ensure that
  everything has the child at its centre.
