PERSONALIZED LEARNING RESOURCES

How Personalized Learning Benefits Students

In the summer edition of NAIS's Independent School magazine, we explain our three-year process of transforming culture and curriculum into a personalized learning environment at One Schoolhouse. Click here to access the NAIS article, "Personal Best: Letting Students Design Their Own Pathways Helps Them Learn and Helps Schools Meet The Needs and Demands Of Today’s Families."
​

Faculty Conversation Around Personalized Learning
​
In addition to the article, we are providing discussion questions that you might consider using with faculty at your school – it might be a good faculty meeting activity (as a whole faculty, by division, or by department) to read the article and then consider the questions. ​
  1. Education is about students and what they learn—not what we teach.  Reflect on this statement, and consider how true this is in the context of your own classroom.
  2. Personalized learning is a pedagogical approach that is tailored around each student’s strengths, needs, and interests. This is familiar to independent school teachers who work to individualize learning for their students.  The difference is that a personalized approach approaches teaching and learning from the perspective of the learner, enabling student voice and choice in what, how, when and where they learn. How is the approach different to the approach you take in your classroom? How is it similar? What opportunities might you have to increase student voice and choice in your classroom?
  3. One Schoolhouse undertook a three-year process to transform its culture and curriculum to a personalized learning pedagogy. What would a process look like at your school? Why type of professional development would you need to make this happen?
  4. With a personalized learning pedagogy, teachers take all their best lessons, resources, and teaching practices and organize them into pathways for students to choose the most effective options for them to learn. Take five minutes to think about a lesson in a class that you teach.  How might you re-create that lesson to offer multiple pathways for your students to learn content, check their understanding, and apply their knowledge?

If your school is a part of the One Schoolhouse consortium, and if it is helpful for us to talk with administrators or faculty members on this topic, let us know.  We are happy to set up Skype sessions or campus visits for the fall.
