A New Assessment Framework: Placing the Learner at the Centre

My Learner ID is a new and innovative programme that teaches children ‘how to learn’ and helps track their learning progress. The programme was written and developed, in Ireland, by Dr. Suzanne Parkinson, Developmental & Educational Psychologist. My Learner ID is a timely, unique and practical programme, which provides a logical and developmentally appropriate framework to support children in becoming learners and promoting their voice as the learner.

My Learner ID supports ‘Learner Voice’ and ‘Learning to be a Learner’

WHY IMPLEMENT MY LEARNER ID My Learner ID will support the following key areas for schools and teachers:

School Self Evaluation – it gives teachers a framework for operationalising the new school

evaluation framework. It supports over 30 Statements of Highly Effective Practice from the

‘Looking At Our School 2016’

Learner Empowerment – teaches learners to understand how to learn and helps others

understand the learner perspective

Assessment – balances ‘hard’ assessment scores with rich picture information about the

learner and gives a holistic picture of the learner. The programme introduces new ideas on

assessment and supports teachers in formative assessment

Vision for Education – learning for life; learning to learn and the development of learner

dispositions (AISTEAR & Principles underpinning the new Junior Cycle Programme)

My Learner ID supports numerous Statements of Highly Effective Practice from the School Self Evaluation (SSE): ‘Looking at Our Schools 2016’ policy document and provides a useful and practical framework for operationalising SSE. It highlights the importance of considering the voice of the child in the process of learning and the need to support them on their journey.
