Unfolding the Potential of Every Child - Blog 2



This is a second in a series of communication dealing with "unfolding the potential of every child". This information is regarding personalized learning. The following is an excerpt from the publication "Culture Shift: Teaching in a Learner-Centered Environment":

"To ensure that each student graduates prepared for college and a career, education systems must provide a more personalized learning environment for each student.  Rather than teaching all students in the same way and at the same pace, or tracking students into two or three different levels of learning.  Learner-centered instruction focuses on meeting students where they are and helping them to develop the knowledge and skills they need.  Personalized learning requires not only a shift in the design of schooling, but also a leveraging of modern technologies.  Learner-centered instruction must guide students toward greater ownership of their learning."
