Personal Learning Level 2 (Years 1 and 2)

Learning focus

As students work towards the achievement of Level 3 standards in Personal Learning, they participate in a wide range of learning experiences which involve a variety of learning styles and approaches to learning. With teacher support, they reflect on those approaches which they believe help them learn most effectively. Students begin to record their feelings and understanding about their learning, responding to prompts which help them acknowledge their successes, noting where improvements could be made and reflecting on the effort they put into particular tasks.

Students develop strategies to use when they are feeling uncertain about their learning, such as seeking assistance from their teachers. They begin to recognise that learning from mistakes is an important attribute of being a good learner.

With teacher support, students develop simple protocols to assist them to learn effectively such as listening attentively. They begin to recognise their contribution to the achievement of a positive learning environment in the classroom.

Students begin to take responsibility for managing their time and resources within the context of structured tasks that have clear outcomes and a set timeframe. They begin to set short-term goals related to specific tasks, such as setting a time limit for a particular activity, and to reflect on their achievements.

Standards

In Personal Learning, standards for assessing and reporting on student achievement are introduced at Level 3. The learning focus statements for Levels 1 and 2 provide advice about learning experiences that will assist students to work towards the achievement of the standards at Level 3.
