Why Personalized Learning?
Personalized learning is instruction that is paced to student learning needs and tailored to student learning preferences and interests. Personalized learning models are organized around clear and comprehensive sets of standards for the knowledge, skills, behaviors and characteristics each student needs to be a self-directed learner. This type of learning empowers students to develop habits that are invaluable for college and life success.
