What
Is Personalized Learning?
Personalized Learning is a unique, blended classroom-based
and nonclassroom-based public educational model that
is tailored to the needs and interests of each individual
student. Personalized Learning is a 21st century, "on
the leading edge" approach to public education
that honors and recognizes the unique gifts, skills,
passions, and attributes of each child. Personalized
Learning is dedicated to developing individualized
learning programs for each child whose intent is to
engage each child in the learning process in the most
productive and meaningful way to optimize each child's
learning potential and success.
The key attributes that comprise the Personalized
Learning model are based upon a solid foundation of
the latest educational research findings as to how
students learn most successfully, including a strong
emphasis on parental involvement, smaller class sizes,
more one-on-one teacher and student interaction, attention
to differences in learning styles, student-driven participation
in developing the learning process, technology access,
varied learning environments, teacher and parent development
programs, and choices in curriculum programs. No other
educational model offered in today's public education
system has integrated these proven educational research
results in such an in-depth and comprehensive manner
to serve the diverse needs of today's public education
students.
The Personalized Learning model is fast becoming recognized
as the most flexible, multi-faceted, and individualized
approach to learning in education today. Yet it has
historically been gravely misunderstood by those who
equate the model with a more limited in scope homeschooling,
independent study, or other alternative nonclassroom
type model. The Personalized Learning model is gravely
misunderstood by those who simply do not take the time
to examine the model in its deepest and broadest-based
expression. This shortcoming is very similar to the
old Indian fable entitled, "The Blind Men and
the Elephant".
