One of my roles at Woodleigh School is to work with students and teachers on students learning independently.

Each year I measure students preferred learning styles, preferred intelligences, and preferred learning environments and create a learning profile for each individual student. I then publish these for all teachers on our Intranet. Some teachers ask me the obvious question; "Why go to all this trouble?"

On this page I thought I might like to share the survey techniques that I use and more importantly discuss how I use that information and why I spend so many hours collecting, analysing and discussing the data with my students and my colleagues.

I'll also discuss other issues of interest to me and that influence the manner in which I go about my work as a science educator and faculty leader. Such as: Teacher Quality being the most important determinant of student success The Medici Effect and ways to help students to be creative, innovative and successful National Science Curriculum including my submission to the NCB and thoughts as the "Education Evolution" is unravelled
