The Learner at the Centre
The Dara Model for Teaching and Learning (2021) acknowledges that students bring to school their own individual learner profile. The student’s learner profile is made up of academic readiness levels, individual learning preferences and interests, and other factors that influence who each student is as a learner and how they learn. These aspects are celebrated, developed and embedded in the design of learning.
