Rather than focus on “personalized learning” as a specific thing, the framework it has developed is designed to measure the degree of personalization in the classroom along four dimensions: learner connected, learner focused, learner demonstrated, and learner led. Time, place, path and pace are one set of examples. Deeper Learning.

The proficiency-based model is closely related to competency-based learning, where students are grouped with those who are closest to their language abilities, regardless of age or seat time. Course scheduling, for example, becomes more complicated with school-wide, mixed-grade language classes.

Teaching to a Range of Maturity Levels By definition, a self-paced model allows for more differentiation. Example of a sixth grade pacing tracker. Capitalize on peer obsessions in a positive way.

With the learning infrastructure work, for example, we have Credly, our very first investment that is working on digital, competency-based credentials. The National Restaurant Association, for example, is a great partner of ours. Now there’s a growing focus on competency-based learning.

Starting something in these areas means that, by definition, there is typically more upside than downside because the alternative is that students will have no other options. For example, in one English project, teacher ask students to choose a contemporary problem of interest to them.

As our paradigms change with tech and culture, and pressures mount to increase achievement and stop attrition of student to alternatives, so do the views of what personalized learning actually is. The new-school answer to the definition of personalized learning is markedly different.

Using the second/third grade pod as an example, Allen explains how two teachers start their morning together with a group of nearly 58 students who work on their own tablet devices. Each student is assigned an individualized learning schedule that involves group work or one-on-one interventions with a teacher.

I actually find that there is a medium amount of consistency: It could certainly be better, but there is much more consistency about competency education than about other ideas that have been introduced into the world of education. I’m not as worried about the people who want to call whatever they are doing competency-based.

Many social and emotional competencies don't unfold in scopes and sequences the way math skills might. Instead, they can be thought of as states that can or can't be accessed based on internal or external conditions. Social and emotional competencies can't be reduced to cognitive skills.

If Loveless had kept up with our writing (not that I blame him for not) or read Disrupting Class with a bit more of a nuanced eye, he would have seen that we didn’t pin our argument on multiple intelligences or learning styles per se—we were quite up front that we are not experts in the learning sciences by any means.

Adaptive learning basically means that the system is learning a little bit about you, and based on what it learns about you, starts either making recommendations or tailoring the content to you. So for example, let’s just say that I was teaching computer science. Competency-based learning.

We knew that some of our earliest exhibitions would be rough and wouldn't look much different than those old fashioned science expos with the trifold presentation boards, but we had to start somewhere, so we could baseline, learn, and improve. While we are still (and should always be!) All of this brings us back to student exhibitions.

That being said, if you’re using a piece of technology that’s free, it’s likely that your personal data is being sold to advertisers or at the very least hoarded as a potential asset (and used, for example, to develop some sort of feature or algorithm). Certainly “free” works well for cash-strapped schools.
