PERSONALIZED LEARNINGThe journey of capitalizing on student efficacy to better ensure college and career readiness for all students
“We care about our kids and we care about the skills they need to know to be successful in this global economy. We know that each child has a different set of strengths and skills and they learn differently. Therefore, our goal is to personalize and tailor the learning to the child and use a variety of tools, including advanced technology, to make this happen in and outside the classroom.”

New ways of thinking means seeing things differently. Seeing things differently requires a 360° view to open new perspectives and alter
peoples thinking.
WHAT’S MY THINKING RIGHT NOW?
WHAT DO PERSONALIZED CLASSROOMS HAVE IN COMMON?
Instruction is more individualized by adjusting the pace of the instruction.
Instruction is differentiated through using a variety of learning approaches.
Learning is more personalized when teachers leverage student interests and experiences.

D whe
n students are:
ENABLED
ENGAGED
EMPOWERED
Students know how they learn.
Students are co-learners and co-designers
Students own and drive their learning.
Instruction paced to the learning needs of different learners.
Learning goals are same for all students.
Students can progress at different speeds.
INDIVIDUALIZATION
Instruction tailored to learning preferences of students
Learning goals are same for all students
Instructional approach varies based on what research says works best for students like “them”.
DIFFERENTIATION
Instruction paced to learning needs, tailored to learning preferences, and tailored to specific individual learner interests.
Objectives and content as well as method and pace may all vary.
Encompasses differentiation and individualization!

THERE ARE PROBABLY AS MANY WAYS TO "TEACH" AS THERE ARE TO LEARN. PEOPLE DO NOT SEE, HEAR, OR EXPERIENCE THE WORLD IN THE SAME WAY. THEY HAVE VERY DIFFERENT PREFERENCES FOR HOW, WHEN, WHERE AND HOW OFTEN TO LEARN.

HOW DO STANDARDS FIT INTO PERSONALIZED LEARNING
STANDARDS ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS THAT PROVIDE A FRAME OF WHAT A STUDENT NEEDS TOKNOW AND DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
ENDURING SKILLS
Extended focus Fundamental to other
disciplines Value beyond one narrow
context Foundational for applying
content Applicable beyond school Can be measured over
time
Creativity and choice is personalized to the students’ interests.
Personalized learning plan outlines how and when students learn and
demonstrate mastery.
Provides flexibility to support ‘anytime, everywhere learning’ with emphasis on
application of knowledge and skills.
STUDENT-CREATED PERSONALIZED LEARNING PLANS
REVISE
IDENTIFICATION OF GOALS
ASSESS
REFLECT
STUDENT
PROFILE
PLAN
DO
education.vermont.gov
STUDENT PROFILE
Answer important questions Who am I? How do I learn? What are my skills and interests? What is my future path?
Activities that help students learn more about how to use their strengths and interests
Build a list of strengths and challenges
IDENTIFICATION OF GOALS
Goals are most helpful when they address issues that are important to the student, specific, and measurable.
What do I want to accomplish? Am I willing and able to work toward this goal? How will I know when it is accomplished? What is my timeframe for accomplishing this
goal?
Best when done with the support of the teacher.
PLAN
What learning expectations are common for every student at my school? Where do I have choice in course selection? How might various activities help me meet both
my goals and common learning expectations at the same time?
How might learning experiences outside of my school help me meet common learning expectations and/or my goals?
How will I know if I have been successful at following my plan?
When will I have the opportunity to adjust my plan if things change?
DO
Review regularly
Utilize human resources identified in the plan.
Keep constant communication with the teacher.
ASSESS
Review progress and provide evidence of accomplishments.
Self-evaluation, discussion with family, school staff and peers.
Which goals have I met? How do I know that I’ve accomplished my goal or am
making progress? Where in my academic plan am I feeling challenged? How do I know that I am challenged? What kinds of information do I need to show that I
have made progress? How will I display or share this information with others?
REFLECT Reflections can come in various forms including journal entries, dialogue, presentations, videos, or any format suitable to the school and staff.
What did I learn from the assessment portion on my plan? What have I learned about myself thus far? What went well? How do I know? What do I wish had gone differently? What did I have control over? What do I better understand about my own learning and
goal setting? Was there any unexpected learning? What was it? How could I use this experience to revise and/or make my
next plan?
REVISE Revise based on reflective process and changes in goals, interests, and circumstances.
Revision occurs between student and teacher or parent.
Revise at some predetermined regular interval.
What has encouraged me to change my goal? What level of effort did I put into meeting my goals and
actions? Were my goals realistic given my motivation and effort? How are my new goals more in line with my future plans?
The Role of Technology in Personalized Learning
Teachers must still: know and engage their students
plan effective lessons
utilize instructional resources
manage student behavior
monitor learning
modify instruction
WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR AND REALITY OF TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR
CLASSROOM?
When
Technology
Isn’t the Answer:
A student’s Perspective
1-to-1
BENJAMIN WALDMAN, WEST HARTFORD, CT JUNIOR“This ‘race to adopt’ mentality, whereby more technology at earlier ages and grade levels is viewed as better, ignores the fundamentally different educational objectives for kindergartners vs. older students.” “Kindergarten is a time when children develop personal relationships with teachers and interact socially with other students. A screen doesn’t afford any of these benefits; in fact, it inhibits them.”
“A good score or ‘thumbs-up’ on a screen cannot provide the same level of motivation as a traditional teacher, especially for younger students.”
“The Silicon Valley branch of the Waldorf Schools (an international association of K-12 schools) enforces a complete technological prohibition on students through 7th grade, yet it has attracted the children of technology executives, such as those employed by Google, eBay, and Apple, as pointed out by the New York Times.”
Education Week: October 14, 2014. Technology Is Not the Answer: A Student’s Perspective
for personalized learning using technology.
TEN TIPS FOR PERSONALIZED LEARNING VIA TECHNOLOGY
1. Deliver instruction through multiple forms of media.
2. Gather and use immediate feedback on student’s
understanding.
3. Give students options.
4. Automate basic-skills practice
5. Practice independent work skills
6. Create a weekly “Must Do” and “May Do” list.
7. Pretest students’ knowledge before each unit.
8. Be flexible when plans go awry.
9. Let Students drive.
10.Share the work of creating differentiated lessons

“A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence.”
― Rollo May
WHEN DIRECTED TO BEGIN:
Identify a table facilitator
Distribute myth sheets found in the manila envelopes labeled Myth Busting
Do individual reading of your myth
Do self-reflecting on how the myth relates to your current perception/reality
Have table-talk about each myth and share self-reflections appropriate to individual comfort levels
I have too many students to teach to use personalized learning.
My curriculum is so packed, how do I find the time for personalized learning?
There’s no place to squeeze in personalized learning without it feeling like one more add-on that I simply have no time for!
Personalized learning is incompatible with standardized state testing.
There is no research that supports personalized learning.
