How the information will be delivered to the student - It will be the teacher's role to guide learners towards a broad and balanced curriculum and teach them the skills needed to embark on personal study and research. - Conferencing will take on a major role as teachers encourage self-assessment and reflection. - In short, they will unlock the potential within all learners and empower them with the tools for learning. (Teachers T.V. Libby Pryce) Personalised learning should become the future in schools. I believe there will still be a need for the provision of key subjects. These will form the foundations of learning, and learners will then build their own curriculum based upon individual needs and interests. There will be a curriculum entitlement based on choice, breadth of study and personal interest. (Teachers.T.V. Libby Pryce) WOW what powerful words Libby Pryce writes in her article, to dream of the future classroom. If only we go back and have that type of education the possibilities would seem endless. How great to be a part of this changing time in teaching, to bring the learning's from our past philosophers and experiment within the classroom with the individual child’s individual skills, abilities, strengths and weakness and watch them take off to reach their goals. The possibilities for individuals to choose their own education route Imagine their enthusiasm to learn with so much individual choice in HOW they learn. Networking and sharing information will be at their fingertips

A teacher's personal philosophy of education is a critical element in his or her approach to guiding children along the path of enlightenment. - Barbara WiltBarbara Wilt Personal Educational Philosophiser's that stand out for their work Albert Einstein, John Dewey, Paulo Freire, Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori, Kurt Hahn
