benefits of Personalized Education, The Independent School Magazine (NAIS)
Not only has the term been on the rise for a few decades now, but countless conferences, articles, and products are now dedicated to considering and celebrating the
possibility of personalizing education.
The
promise of a personalized education system is enormous: we are witnessing an era when new school models and structures, often supported by technology, can tailor learning experiences to each student and allow students more choice in how they access and navigate those experiences.
He describes three schools that exemplify the
kind of personalized education that will lead to true school improvement: The Met in Rhode Island, New Country School in Minnesota, and Urban Academy in New York.
For the past year, the California Consortium for Development and
Dissemination of Personalized Education (C2D2): Lindsay Unified School District and Summit Public Schools supported by Transcend and Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) have been partnering to create tools for the field.
