Moving from

Teacher-Centered to
Learner-Driven Instruction
Part I
When you hear the
term “Learner Profile”,
what comes to mind?
Developing a Learner Profile for
your students allows you to take a
whole child approach to teaching
and learning.
Key data to consider to know your students both as learners AND
individuals:
1. Demographic data
■ Living circumstances, learning history, potential barriers, and existing
supports for learning (e.g. LEP plans, 504 plans, & IEP’s).
2. Academic status
■ Data points including formative and summative assessments, artifacts of
learning, learning goals, and reflections, helping learners and educators to
know what they may be ready to learn next.
3. Learning-related skill set
■ Learner’s current capacity to learn: the learning tools, habits, strategies,
and skills the learner possesses that support effective and increasingly
independent learning.
4. Potential learning drivers
■ Learner’s aspirations, potential motivational hooks, current career plans.
LEARNER PROFILE SURVEY
The goal of the Learner Profile Survey is to determine students’ learning needs
and preferences in terms of:

- The Learning Environment


- Instructional Design
- Building/Strengthening Relationships

Giving students a Learner Profile Survey offers them an opportunity to have an


active voice in their learning. The more students are asked to consider who they
are as learners, the more self-aware they will become.
Empower learners to develop a deep understanding of
needs, interests and strengths around: academics and
approaches to learning, health & wellness,
social-emotional development, culture and language,
living situation and cognitive skills.
In fact, research on the importance of metacognitive thinking
supports the notion that instructional approaches that help
students reflect on their own learning processes are highly
beneficial to their overall learning and tend to stimulate
motivation to improve as learners (Brown, 1989; Marzano et al.,
1988).
Designing Learner Profile Surveys

Kindergarten Survey

First Grade Survey

Second Grade Survey

Third Grade Survey

Fourth Grade Survey

Look over the Learner Profile Survey for your grade level.
Reflect on the questions and decide if there are any
questions you would like to add or modify at this time.
Learner Profile Theory Reflection

● Explain why it is important to develop learner profiles


for your students.
● Explain the purpose of teachers developing, using, and
giving a learner profile survey.
● Why it is important for our students to complete a
learner profile survey?
● Based on the information discussed, what is your key
takeaway from this section?
Next Steps
Have each student in your homeroom class complete a Learner
Profile Survey.

An Important Note:

● Explain the Learner Profile Survey questions to students BEFORE


giving the survey, OR have students complete the survey as a
large/small group while you read and go over each question.
