- There are several options for relating to tutors the stories of some learners so that they can then develop a plan for them.
- Show the video Some Learners’ Stories. Ask tutors to imagine that these are their own new learners. Tell them they will be working with the information they get from the video.
- Pass out the Learner Profiles handout and ask them to read the stories.
- If tutors already have learners of their own, they could use their own
learners’ stories for this activity.
- Tutors may work in pairs or small groups. If they are using their own learners,
remind them about confidentiality.
- Ask tutors to choose a learner and write out that person’s goals and interests based on what they found out about that learner from the video,
the profiles or their own knowledge of the person. They may want to use the
handout Task List for Setting Goals to help them identify some goals.
- Then have tutors develop a learning plan using the information they have gathered. Let tutors decide which tool to use to record the learning plan: give them both the blank Learning Plan and the blank Setting Goals handouts.S
- If tutors need help in doing this activity, put up the blank Learning Plan or Setting Goals overhead that you used in Activity C. Choose a learner story
not being used. From the information provided, work together to fill in
the plan.
- After doing the activity as a group, encourage tutors to begin a plan for their chosen learner. Provide help as needed.
- Ask tutors to share their plans if they feel comfortable sharing.
