Have you heard everyone talking about personalized learning and been wondering what exactly that means and how to do it in a classroom of 25 to 35 students?
Michael Fullan defines personalized learning in this way:
- Engage all students in their own learning
- Tailor instruction and learning supports to address the learning needs and dispositions of highly diverse student bodies
- Adjust the pace
- Adjust the learning approach
- Leverage student interests/experiences
"The key to successfully providing more personalized learning on a broad scale is twofold: first, focus on collective capacity building, through approaches such as professional learning communities and, second, strategic use of technology to address many of the challenges. Technology, as a support or accelerator, can ensure more effective collection and use of data to improve instruction. Technology can also facilitate communication, provide much more diversity in content for students, and help schools better meet the varied needs and preferences of students. And technology can be used as a direct pedagogical tool to enable learners to build meaning and knowledge with greater depth than hitherto possible."
