Personalized learning places the whole child at the center of instruction. It is informed by strong educator/student/family/community relationships to provide equity and choice in time, place, path, pace and demonstration of learning.
Personalized Learning is not just best practice for students; adults also benefit from having voice and choice over the time, pace, place, path, and demonstrations over their learning. As you think about how you might create Personalized Learning classrooms, think about how you might model effective personalized approaches to learning in the professional development that you offer to staff. Explore these resources about personalized professional development for teachers and staff.

Blended Learning
Blended Learning
Blended Learning is commonly defined as an instructional method that integrates technology with traditional, teacher-led classroom activities allowing students more flexibility, voice, and choice over time, place, pace, and path. While technology and digital learning opportunities are not required for Personalized Learning, the intentional and focused use of supplementary online resources is a strongly recommended PL practice. Learn more about Blended Learning and how it can enhance your PL practices by reviewing the resources below.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
UDL Stands for Universal Design for Learning. Within this framework, teachers consider the multiple ways they can engage students in learning, present the learning content, and receive student demonstrations (or expressions) of learning. When thinking about Personalized Learning, it is important that teachers engage students in the learning by appealing to their interests, vary the learning path, pace, and place depending on the students' presentation needs, and vary the demonstrations of learning to best reflect each students' strengths and interests. Learn more about UDL and how you can incorporate its components into your Personalized Learning framework.
