Personalized Learning: Essential Strategies for Educators
ENROLL NOW!
Course Summary
To understand personalized learning, imagine a classroom where education isn’t a “one size fits all” approach. Instead of guiding all students through the same lessons, the teacher directs each student on a personalized journey. The what, when, where, and how of learning are customized to each student’s strengths, skills, needs, and interests.
While students may learn certain skills at different paces, their personalized learning plans still ensure they stay on track to meet the standards for a high school diploma.
This type of classroom isn’t the norm yet, but it’s the goal of personalized learning. This approach is already being successfully implemented in some schools and is expanding in several states. Here’s what you need to know.
Personalized learning acknowledges that kids learn in different ways and at different paces. This teaching model creates a unique “learning plan” for each student based on how they learn, what they know, and their skills and interests. It’s the opposite of the traditional “one size fits all” approach used in most schools.
