The Kunskapsskolan value add to IB
Personalised Learning Pedagogy - KED Programme
At Kunskapsskolan, the KED (Kunskapsskolan Education) Programme is at the heart of our personalised learning approach. This unique pedagogy personalises the educational experience to the needs, strengths, and interests of each student, empowering them to take control of their learning journey. Through structured goals, self-reflection, and continuous feedback, students are guided to achieve their full potential. The KED Programme fosters a growth mindset, encouraging students to view challenges as opportunities and to develop the skills necessary for lifelong learning.
Goal Setting
Goal setting is a cornerstone of the KED Programme. Students are encouraged to set both short-term and long-term goals, which are aligned with their personal aspirations and academic requirements. This process empowers students to take ownership of their education, developing self-discipline and motivation. Through regular reflection and adjustment, students learn to navigate their educational journey with purpose, gaining valuable skills in time management and strategic thinking.
Logbook
The Logbook is an essential tool in the KED Programme, serving as a personal organiser, a planner, and a reflective journal. Students use their Logbooks to track their progress, set weekly goals, and reflect on their learning experiences. This practice not only helps in managing time and resources effectively but also encourages students to engage in self-assessment, enabling them to recognise their strengths and areas for improvement. The Logbook is a living document that grows with the student, providing a tangible record of their academic and personal development.
Personal Coaching
Personal coaching is integral to the KED Programme, where each student is paired with a coach—a dedicated educator who provides individualised support and guidance. Through regular one-on-one sessions, the coach helps the student set realistic goals, overcome challenges, and develop strategies for success. This personalised attention ensures that each student receives the support they need to thrive, fostering a close, trusting relationship that enhances their confidence and resilience.
Swedish Roots
The KED Programme is deeply rooted in Swedish educational principles, renowned for their emphasis on equality, individuality, and a holistic approach to learning. Originating in Sweden, the programme reflects the country’s commitment to providing an education that not only meets academic standards but also nurtures the overall well-being of students. The Swedish influence is evident in the programme’s focus on personalised learning, collaboration, and the development of critical thinking skills, preparing students to become responsible global citizens.
