“I’m constantly thinking now… I’m trying to be a lot more intentional about how I design lessons. I want to make sure that they’re purposeful, that they are engaging. I am trying a lot harder to be intentional and purposeful about why I’m doing the lessons I’m doing.”

The Good and the Bad

Now more than ever, schools and school systems are in a position to rethink the role of educational assessment.

“Assessment should not serve as a judge, but a guide, giving students direction on where to go next. It ‘fits’ students into the academic system, but should show them how they fit into the world—who they are, where they’re going, and what gives them purpose. It currently separates the ‘good’ from the ‘bad.’ It should find the good in each student and grow it.”

Queensland Schools + TLF

Learnings from the first years of TLF’s partnership with a group of schools in Queensland, AU.

“It’s just the perfect process, I believe, because it’s always putting the learner first, at the centre of all our decision making… And underpinning it the whole way through is the idea of connecting and supporting, checking in, getting all stakeholders involved. It just makes sense. It’s that complete inquiry cycle for school improvement—it really is.”

—Head of Department
State High School

"By doing The Learner First process I really enjoy the fact that you get to know the kids, and then it takes it the step further—how does that [knowledge] then translate into integrating into the lesson, integrating it into their goals? Because we put a lot of emphasis and stress on academic goals, but what about their personal self—who do they want to be, what are their focuses on becoming a better person?"
