Personalized learning means getting the
right student the right learning experiences and the right content, at just the
right time.
What is
personalized learning?
Personalized learning is a student-centered, customized
learning model that addresses the diversity of a student’s background and needs
and sets high expectations for all students. This may entail a formalized plan
and process that requires students to set learning goals based on personal,
academic, and career interests with the close support of adult mentors that
include teachers, parents, and other members of the community.

How do I know if my district is ready for personalized learning?
Before your school or district begins implementing any
new approach to personalized learning, a planning and reflection period should
take place. Are we ready to effectively implement new approaches? Are
our resources aligned to make new approaches successful? Are we doing
innovation for the sake of innovation?
