Personalized Learning
Personalized Doesn't Mean Unstructured
Personalized learning sometimes gets confused with students simply doing whatever they want at their own pace. That isn't our model.
Personalized Learning Does Not Mean
Students choose whether they participate
Expectations are lowered
Every child follows an entirely separate curriculum
Students simply work all day independently
Students avoid challenging work
Personalized Learning Does Mean
Teachers have flexibility to respond to academic readiness
Students may receive additional instruction when needed
Students may receive greater challenge when ready
Instructional groups can change as students grow
Students receive time to practice and demonstrate understanding
Personalization changes the pathway—not the expectation that students learn, participate, and grow.

MOVE FORWARD
A student isn't expected to move forward simply because the calendar says it is time. And a student who is ready for greater challenge shouldn't have to wait unnecessarily either.
A student may be ready for greater challenge in one subject while needing additional time to strengthen a foundational skill in another.
And that's okay. Learning isn't a race, and academic growth isn't always a straight line.
