SelfDesign Learning Foundation will put guidelines in place for learners who take responsibility for their own Observing for Learning communications.

The following are the guidelines in place for learners who take responsibility for their own Observing for Learning communications:

Collaborate with your educator(s) and your parent(s)/guardian(s) to help develop your learning plan, providing your educator(s) with insight into your passions, interests, learning styles, work habits, and goals for the educational process. In this way your learning plan can be personalized.

Inform your educator(s) of resources and services that you have successfully used in the past and/or that you prefer for the present.

Reflect on your learning and communicate weekly with your educator(s) to discuss progress and needs.

Request changes to the learning plan when you want them, including the addition of activities and events (e.g., workshops, classes, field trips).
