When it comes to supporting a student''s progress, showing them what they can do to improve, or perform better is the key. What ensues is an open discussion, with tutor participation, to explore more deeply the topic in question. However, assessment of learning is not as important as assessment for learning.

Dewey also has a lot to say about differentiation and the individuality of students in schools.

There’s been a great deal of discussion over the last few years related to informal learning. Many times, I feel those discussions miss the mark. I think this focus on ‘better’ is a distraction from the more important discussion. We see this all too often in the learning and performance field.

It is of course possible in traditional classrooms to create opportunities for learning to be driven by learners, where collaborative and cooperative learning can be facilitated, and where students can move around the room as they investigate and experiment, create and discuss.
