Kunskaps­skolan uk & usa - student agency in learning email format

In Swedish, “Kunskapsskolan" means “the knowledge school." The name is an expression of the organisation’s passion for providing excellence in learning and knowledge for the next global generation. We personalise each student's education according to their individual needs and abilities. All resources in the school are carefully designed and organised around the student in a complete and coherent system – the KED Program. Together with their personal coach, the student sets personal goals for all subjects. Equally important, the student and coach find strategies to reach the goals based on the student’s ability and way of learning. As subject experts and coaches, the teachers in the KED Program support the students in every step to develop their knowledge and skills. The material that we work with, the infrastructure, organisation, technology and other facilities support the personalised learning process. Kunskapsskolan schools are among the leading schools in Sweden. The success of its KED Program can be judged not only by students’ performance being higher than the Swedish national average, but also by the growth of KED schools across international boundaries. Kunskapsskolan UK have been working on a number of projects to support the development of KED principles within the UK. This has led to the development of the SAIL project - Student Agency In Learning. This also benefits from a partnership with the Whole Education group in the UK -a dynamic partnership of schools and organisations committed to redefining today’s educational offering based on a belief that all children deserve an engaging and rounded education that supports academic achievement, but also develops the skills, knowledge and qualities needed to flourish in life, learning and work.
