E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

Pernille offers insight on why she embraces personalized learning after 6 years.  She points out that the journey she has taken to transform herself is really about the learners that she teaches. Here is an excerpt that says it all.

"Six years ago, I set out on a journey that would challenge my belief that education was an institution that could not be changed, but instead had to be blindly followed no matter the collateral damage in its wake. I now know that the day I started asking my learners what changes they needed to become more engaged learners, was the day that I made a difference in the way education can be used. Yet this change is fundamentally not about me. It is about the learners I teach and it is for them that we must embrace a more meaningful way of educating. Call it personalizing learning or some other title, but in the end, we must make the very education that we are stewards of become about the kids that we teach again."

Introducing the Educator Competencies for Personalized, Learner-Centered Teaching interactive site,  These new Educator Competencies are build on and push beyond the best existing teaching competencies and standards to capture what educators need in order to create and thrive in personalized, learner-centered systems. The competencies are organized into four domains: Instructional, Cognitive, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal.

In 2014, CMS developed a clear definition of what Personalized Learning is in their district:

Planning to share this with my MIT students as we begin our class on C & I.

Education voices on Megan Cook and Destiny Cook was silenced by the choice of the NC Public Schools but could they be heard by edu ational opportunities of an Personalized Learning education created just for their eduction success to over come all obstacles and be education succusses in life. Could this be an excellent resource for any child denied or deprived of an education. Which has resulted or could in the I r future result in hardship(s) by any means because of education denied or deprived of by public or any schools choice. 

We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance,” Laufenberg said. “Those things never come together as long as that is the overriding moment.” She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.

Join us in #plearnchat with educators around the world to discuss these important questions about Assessment AS Learning. 

British Columbia recently updated their education plan and the focus again is on Personalized Learning for Every Student. 

Discover how Cathy Knutson took Genius Hour and had her learners create Query Books.  How ingenious! She makes reference to two resources, Where Good Ideas Come From and What Do you do with an Idea to help her bring her idea to life. Here are her comments about the process her learners took to develop Query Books.

"As students record their ideas, several things happen. They are giving their ideas a voice, recording them so they will be remembered, and building the habit of paying attention to their ponderings. Each query book would act as a personalized idea "bucket list" of sorts. As they collected and cultivated ideas over time, they would no doubt find that some have more merit than others (a truth that all great minds must accept). Although not every idea is born for greatness, each would help students become more creative thinkers."

Are there any ways that a personized education can assist children with disabilities denied years of education by their local public schools agencies choice but the personalized education provided at the public schools exspence and the choice of their parent as not only no education but a safe educational environment per the public schools own actions and motives as they reference the students/ children is in question but they need an education? As they a special needs individuals. All responses are appreciated.

Discover the conversations we had in the #plearnchat on Dec 14th with Jim Rickabaugh, Executive Director of the Institute for Personalized Learning, co-moderating the discussion on Learner Agency. This #plearnchat followed a six-part blog series between Personalize Learning, LLC and the Institute for Personalized Learning on Learner Agency. Refer to the links in this graphic to access those blogs that dove deep into learner agency.

We want to thank all the wonderful educators who joined in the conversation in #plearnchat. 

Both of us are advocates for the use of technology to support instruction and to help learners gain independent learning skills. For years, as coaches consulting on technology integration, we observed classrooms where technology sat idle or to present lessons using new tools but the same way they teach: teacher-directed. The current system seems to encourage the use of technology for traditional teacher-directed methods.

The system needs to change from focusing on problems to rethinking the design of teaching and learning around how learners learn best. Personalized learning starts with the learner, not the technology!

Jesse Moyer shared his research on scaling personalized learning from the recent KnowledgeWorks paper, District Conditions for Scale, that he co-authored.  Here is some of his reflections about the importance of meta-themes and the ten conditions to scale personalized learning.
