APLUS+
has been established to promote the many benefits and successes
of a
new model of education in
California called Personalized Learning. Find out
more about APLUS+.
Personalized Learning is a leading, "21st century" approach
to education that tailors learning according to the individual needs of
each student. The Personalized Learning model has evolved
over the past decade through the growing public charter school movement in
California, and incorporates many of the latest educational research results
as to how children learn successfully. Find out more about Personalized
Learning.
Dozens of public
charter schools throughout California have adopted
a Personalized Learning educational
approach. Many of these programs are regarded as exemplary
models of the Personalized
Learning approach. Find out more
about these leading Personalized Learning programs
in California.
Leading
educational research confirms the value and importance
of several key elements that contribute
to a child's academic success. The Personalized Learning model
of education combines many of these key elements in its learning
process. These key elements include parent involvement, responsibility,
and participation in their children's education; small class
sizes; learning program collaboration between teacher, parent,
student, and school; ongoing credentialed teacher training;
learning style assessment; flexible learning in multiple
environments both within and beyond the classroom; home learning
environment support; flexible curricular choices; multiple
assessment tools and measurements; technology learning access;
and varied pace learning. Find out more about education research.
Thousands
of parents, students, and families in California have
experienced the many benefits of a Personalized
Learning approach to education. Several public officials
and education groups and leaders have recognized the value
of Personalized Learning and have expressed their support
for the Personalized Learning choice in public education.
The California State Senate unanimously passed State Senate Resolution 36 in July 2004, recognizing Personalized Learning as a distinct education model in California.
