A real-world action plan for educators to create personalized
learning experiences
Learning Personalized: The Evolution of the Contemporary
Classroom provides teachers, administrators, and educational
leaders with a clear and practical guide to personalized learning.
Written by respected teachers and leading educational consultants
Allison Zmuda, Greg Curtis, and Diane Ullman, this comprehensive
resource explores what personalized learning looks like, how it
changes the roles and responsibilities of every stakeholder, and
why it inspires innovation. The authors explain that, in order to
create highly effective personalized learning experiences, a new
instructional design is required that is based loosely on the
traditional model of apprenticeship: learning by doing.
Learning Personalized challenges educators to rethink the
fundamental principles of schooling that honors students’ natural
willingness to play, problem solve, fail, re-imagine, and share.
This groundbreaking resource:
* Explores the elements of personalized learning and offers a
framework to achieve it
* Provides a roadmap for enrolling relevant stakeholders to
create a personalized learning vision and reimagine new roles and
responsibilities
* Addresses needs and provides guidance specific to the job
descriptions of various types of educators, administrators, and
other staff
This invaluable educational resource explores a simple framework
for personalized learning: co-creation, feedback, sharing, and
learning that is as powerful for a teacher to re-examine classroom
practice as it is for a curriculum director to reexamine the
structure of courses.
