I’ve been revising the learning plan template that we use with tutors in our NCALNE (Voc) training…

Due to the process involved in getting our course online via Pathways Awarua, I’ve made changes to the process and the information that we want tutors to collect.

My first attempt at revising this is here along with a bit more brief background information.

Anyway… I’ve updated the format again slightly, this time adding some basic instructions and sentence starters for tutors to either use or ignore.

The screenshot at the top of this post shows page 1 of 3 pages.

You can see the structure below or simply download the template as a word document here: IndividualLearningPlanTemplate3.0
