In North Carolina, the goal of personalized learning is to shift from a teacher-focus to a student-centered classroom. Critical to the success of the personalized learning environment is the implementation of the following research-based and interconnected strategies. These four pillars serve as a framework for developing personalized learning environments, and each may be facilitated through the instructional application of digital resources and devices.

Personalized Learning & NCStar:
For districts using NCStar for Continuous Improvement, 9 Indicators were published in 2019.
Developed by NCDPI’s Digital Teaching & Learning and NCSU’s Friday Institute, this survey helps to identify the current status of school-level implementation of personalized learning. This data to better understand how and where student-centered learning is occurring, to develop strategic supports for this work, to build networks of practitioners across the state, and more.
Who should complete this survey?
Since implementation of personalized learning can vary in different contexts or settings, this survey should be completed by individuals with knowledge of personalized learning and of the school-based practices. Ideally, each school would be represented in the collected data.
We ask that an individual be identified with each survey submission for future communication efforts.
How long is this survey?
This survey is expected to take between 5-20 minutes to complete based on each school’s implementation of personalized learning.
Most of the questions are multiple choice, with a few questions in each section requesting a brief written response.
What is this survey about?
The survey begins with general questions about personalized learning and then digs deeper into each of the four pillars of personalized learning.
It is important that the person/s completing this survey have an understanding of personalized learning and the four pillars as defined by NCDPI and of the school-based practices. For more information, please review NCDPI’s working definition.
