Electronic Learning Curve Planner

The team at The Learning Curve are excited to announce the Electronic Learning Curve Planner, for 2012. 

As you know, student and teacher well-being is at the heart of the Learning Curve Planner program. To ensure that the valuable content of the hard copy diaries is carried through to add further benefit online, the electronic planner will contain the following features: 

  • Separate categories to aid student learning and well-being with the ability to track personal progress against goals set earlier in the year; making students improvements and progression measurable based on content viewed and forms completed online
     
  • A means for students/teachers to track their progress towards their personal goals on a daily basis
     
  • Teachers will be able to post tasks/updates to class students, individual students and parents
     
  • Development of teacher-parent and teacher-student communications (i.e. to send/receive messages) supporting teacher-parent interaction through the ability for teachers to add comments regarding students and review responses;­ parents can respond and comment.
  • There is also a reminder function to flag overdue tasks for students/parents

 There are many more features not mentioned here, so please contact your local state representative for more detailed information.
