LEARNER MAPSMaking learning visible

What is a learner map? Learner Maps is a visual representation of children's

learning.

It draws on ideas from mind mapping, infographics and

Mike Rohde's Sketchnoting handbook to create an

assessment tool that helps us to zoom out to see the

whole child.

Learner maps are messy, creative and a load of fun.
