Personalized Learning Environments and the SFUSD Graduate Profile

Four SFUSD teachers describe what they've learned in the Personalized Learning Environment Pilot Program and how that connects to developing SFUSD's Graduate Profile skills with their students.

Why Personalized Learning?

Under Vision 2025, SFUSD has identified 10 Big Shifts we want to realize over the next decade in order to equip our students with the 21st century skills, knowledge, and dispositions outlined in our Graduate Profile.

In SFUSD, we believe that personalized learning provides student-centered learning opportunities that are scaffolded, student-paced, adaptive, engaging, and flexible so that all students meet rigorous academic standards and effectively communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically as global citizens in preparation for college and career. Through personalized learning, students have agency, choice, and voice in their learning pathway.
