After you have
heard the inspiring keynotes, you can go and see for
yourself. We have invited twelve outstanding practitioners
from schools, local authorities and community groups
from around the UK to present their work. You can visit
them in scheduled Case Study Presentations in timetabled
slots throughout the day. Personalising Learning:
Creative Approaches is designed so that you have
a structured opportunity to access three of the formal
Case Study Presentations, as well as visiting the stands
throughout the day.
Each Case Study
presented at Personalising Learning: Creative Approaches
is written up in the conference documents. This
will provide you with a description of what has been
done and how, the context, examples of many of the resources
used and contact details. Each of the keynoters is also
included so that, on the day, you do not need to do
anything other than listen, ask questions, think and
enjoy yourself.
