Personalization Needs Differentiation
“…a framework that involves providing students with different avenues to acquire content; to process, construct, or make sense of ideas; and to developing teaching materials and assessment measures so that all students within a classroom can learn effectively, regardless of differences in ability--Carol Ann Tomlinson
Diversity Leads To Better Learning
• Do you want professors and peers to be like you? (Race, background, socio-economic, etc)

Dr. Robert Hare / Kevin Huttan1. I rarely plan ahead. I’m a spur-of-the-moment kind of person 0 1 2 3 2. Cheating on your partner is OK so long as you don’t get caught 0 1 2 3 3. If something better comes along it’s OK to cancel a longstanding appointment 0 1 2 3 4. Seeing an animal injured or in pain doesn’t bother me in the slightest 0 1 2 3 5. Driving fast cars, riding rollercoasters, and skydiving, appeal to me 0 1 2 3 6. It doesn’t matter to me if I have to step on other people to get what I want 0 1 2 3 7. I’m very persuasive. I have a talent for getting other people to do what I want 0 1 2 3 8. I’d be good in a dangerous job because I can make my mind up quickly 0 1 2 3 9. I find it easy to keep myself together in situations when others are cracking under pressure 0 1 2 3 10. If you’re able to con someone, that’s their problem. They deserve it 0 1 2 3

Creating A Custom Playlist for Students
• Class lessons:Traditional lessons for the whole class help introduce a lesson or reteach material as needed.
• Assessments:Teachers conduct regular formative assessments, using some quick digital applications and analytic tools, to determine students’ skills and academic needs.
• Skill-building games:Computer-based games that focus on developing specific skills like vocabulary or multiplication facts.
• Group projects:Students collaborate on assignments using technology and traditional research and presentation tools.
• Independent Research:Assignments outside of class using online and traditional resources give students the chance to guide their own learning.
• Online courses:Virtual learning could give students access to credit-recovery or accelerated courses, as well as enrichment and intervention activities.
• Tutoring:One-on-one or small-group tutoring sessions, on-site or virtually, aid students who are struggling academically.
• Site Visits:Students can tap into outside educational resources, such as museums, libraries, and local historical sites.
• Blogs:Students can write blog entries to demonstrate what they’ve learned, outline their research, and communicate with their teachers.
• ETC
Experts recommend teachers utilize a variety of tools and activities to address personalized learning:
