Level 1 Personalised Learning Pod
L1PPOD01 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr S. Peacock.
The Personalised Learning Pod is a future focused learner-centred environment. The Pod provides flexibility for Year 11 learners at Whangaparāoa College to personalise their learning by choosing what they would like to learn about and produce. Each learner in the Pod spends 4 hours per week working on one year-long or two semester-long projects that require critical thinking, planning, innovation, and determination.
Learners can select 3 assessments that offer credits for NCEA Level 1 that align with their project
‘The Pod is a classroom where learners choose a project that they are interested in, can learn from, or believe would benefit the world. You then work with the teachers to manage your own learning and learn something you really care about while completing NCEA standards' - Past Pod learner
