Just thinking aloud whilst reading some material for supportive learning. Invitations and inspirations, pathways to success, Mary Dixon et. all.
It again reflects back to Gardener's work on multiple intelligences, it seems to overlap each course so far.

For those interested a link to book purchase, Link

My question is; are teachers collaborating in building student profiles as the students progress through the years of learning, from the very beginning? It would seem logical to not have to re-invent the wheel each year level and each subject. This would be for all students, not just the diverse or failing. Pro active prevention through recognition and action. Of course it must be continually assessed and be adaptable and refined as all of us will change and grow. Indeed taking in consideration the idea of neural plasticity and the changing brain can we help students to balance their skill sets to be better able to use more learning styles. Indeed would we want to do that? Is it good to have a person who is brilliant in one specific area that may lead to insights that only outliers on the curve can see?

For those out there who are in the system already is this occurring?
