Spiky Profile

A ‘spiky profile’ occurs when a learner’s knowledge and understanding in a particular key skill, or between skills, is developed at different levels. For example a learner may be working at Application of Number Level 2 and be competent in many of the skills required, but be weak in certain areas, such as percentages or fractions. Similarly, they may be working at Communication Level 2 and Application of Number Level 1. This spiky profile will vary from learner to learner and means that learning has to be personalised to meet individual needs.
