What is the Role of the Learning Consultant?
Each learner enrolled in SelfDesign will be assigned or choose a BC-certified teacher called a Learning Consultant (LC). The Learning Consultant’s main role is to work in cooperation and collaboration with the learner and parents to support and help account for learning. Initially, each LC will work with a family to enable the child to develop and achieve his or her SelfDesign Learning Plan, after which they will monitor a learner’s tracking of learning each week, reflecting on and responding to weekly ‘Observing for Learning’ reports sent to them by parents and/or learners (who wish to do their own reporting). The Learning Consultant also works with families to review and report on a child’s learning plan 2-3 times each year, and they monitor ‘Learning Investments’ submitted by families to ensure they support a child’s Learning Plan.
