PERSONALIZED LEARNING IS VALUABLE LEARNING

We understand teachers have standards they’re required to help their students master. But it’s not imperative that you approach the teaching of those standards with a “one-size-fits-all” style that doesn’t engage all your students. Sure, some concepts may lend themselves to whole-group instruction, but it doesn’t have to be your default setting. Personalizing instruction gives educators the opportunity to challenge and engage students in a way that classical whole-group instruction does not. Start small by experimenting with an inquiry-based learning project in which the student decides what he or she wants to learn, and build from there. There are even classrooms in which every student learns according to his or her very own personalized learning plan.

Dweck agrees that personalized learning plans are a great way to offer challenging, meaningful work to students because individualized plans incorporate the students’ interests, have a commitment from the student, and have a presentation component that provides an opportunity for students to transfer knowledge to other students.49 There’s great value in a teacher making an effort to personalize learning to the greatest degree possible, namely, the students often feel a greater degree of ownership over the work that compels them to invest themselves in its success.
