Personalized learning systems accelerate and deepen learning by tailoring instruction to each student’s individual needs, skills, and interests. Students have a variety of rich learning experiences that collectively will prepare them for success in the college and career of their choice.

- Yes....and mentality rather than yes...but or no....but (refuse to look at problems as unsolvable)
