Personalized instruction is guided by ongoing formal and informal assessments and observations, including pre-assessment data such as test results and teacher notes. These assessments drive not only the instructional goals—aligned with learning standards—but also the content and delivery methods used. Instruction is adjusted as needed to support learners requiring higher or lower levels of challenge.
Understanding each learner’s interests—such as favorite colors, characters, and activities—and preferred modes of engagement (e.g., writing, drawing, using technology, or movement) allows for more meaningful and motivating learning experiences. Additionally, learners’ cultural backgrounds, including traditions and home languages, are thoughtfully considered to ensure instruction is inclusive and relevant.
