Abstract

This chapter examines the cogent features of the practice examples of personalising learning in teacher education that have been depicted in the second part of this book. The key practices that appear to provide successful achievement of each of the four tenets for personalising learning: Learner as Central, Communities of Collaboration, ICT and Lifelong Learning are synthesised and presented. Taken together, the sections comprising this chapter provide a synthesis of practice that informs the emergence of a guide for visualising personalising learning in teacher education.
