A one page profile gives the learner an opportunity to reflect, consider and recognise important information about themselves. Headings and content can be adapted according to age / circumstance, but nevertheless allow the teacher to get a better understanding of the needs and self perception of the learner. From this, the teacher will obtain a clearer understanding of the learner's requirements and be able to provide / understand where support can be targeted in accordance with their identified needs. Furthermore, the information can allow the teacher to further foster / develop their relationship with the learner by considering the content included.
