The goal of this class is to do three things:
-First help you better understand what Personalized Learning is. Defined as a diverse variety of educational programs, learning experiences, instructional approaches, and academic-support strategies that are intended to address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students.
-Second, help you better understand what Differentiated Instruction looks like, which is a tailoring instruction to meet individual needs. Whether teachers differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. And better yet, how PowerSchool and the PTPro Gradebook can support you in this process.
-Finally, help you know, as a teacher, how to put together IEPs for each student, which is a document and a process that students use - with support from school counselors, teachers, and parents - to define their career goals and post secondary plans in order to inform their decisions about their courses and activities throughout high school.
