The Learning Curve Diary Planners (student diaries & teachers diary) and supporting website have been designed to provide the processes necessary to underpin the learning and pastoral care programs in schools and build healthy home – school learning partnerships; they are enhancers of schools’ individual programs.

There are five Learning Curve Diaries/Planners:

• Primary
• Junior Secondary
• Middle Secondary
• Senior Secondary
• Teacher's planner

To effectively embed the Learning Curve and reap the maximum benefits for students, parents and teachers, the Author, Mick Walsh, is available to assist schools personally. He is also able to facilitate professional development workshops for staff on a range of educational perspectives and deliver motivational and smarter study strategies for students.

The dimensions built into the Learning Curve student diaries are designed to achieve the following aims:

• Reduce variation in student learning between classrooms, by providing teachers with a shared set of practices, processes and principles to establish a consistent school wide pedagogy; thus enabling teachers to be more readable for students.

• Instil through drip feeding into students’ learning and personal cultures, skills, abilities and values that enable the:

- striving for personal best standards of achievement by linking thinking and learning

- acquiring of desirable personal attributes for them to become contributing citizens with spirit and confidence

- developing of qualities for independent lifelong learning, thus enabling them to be resilient and adaptable in the 21^st century

• Build sustainable and transparent learning partnerships within our school community by regularly connecting students, parents and teachers through the diary planners and website; enabling parents to be involved in the learning process without their children’s permission.

The Learning Curve Planner series is designed and written to assist students with:

• Relationships and Self Assessment
• Career and Time Management
• Research and Operational Skills
• Study Techniques and Approaches
• Examination and Revision Skills
• Personal Health and Safety
• Pastoral Care and Self Esteem
• Life: Finding a Way or Making one

The planners have dimensions built into them to develop the "whole" person and nurture trusting and open learning partnerships between students, parents, teachers and the school.

You may choose to include school information pages at the front of the planner, customise the artwork on the front covers or re-design a complete ‘special’ planner for your schools specific needs.
