1. Relationships - does my teacher know me well enough and help me form relationships
2. Relevance - is learning connected to my likes and interests and world
3. Time - can I learn at my own pace and go deep and broad
4. Timing - does everyone learn the same thing at the same time or in the order that suits them
5. Play - do I have opportunities to explore, make mistakes, tinker and make guesses
6. Practice - can I engage in deep and sustained practise of skills I need to learn
7. Choice - do all students follow the same path or do we have real choices
8. Authenticity - is my learning recognised as valuable by my family and community
