PERSONALIZED
LEARNING FOR HIGH
SCHOOL
Personalized learning adapts a
structured educational environment into
a malleable approach to learning and
teaching. Each learning style is different,
and there is not one approach to teaching
that fits them all. Personalized learning provides
students with attainable success in the classroom
by allowing teachers to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each individual
student and adapt lesson plans to allow students to work at their own pace.
Building Student Profiles: Personalized learning pulls from the strengths and
weaknesses of individual students and tailors lessons to improve learning outcomes.
Teachers are able to utilize these pathways to learning to guide their students to
success.
Digital Approach to Personalized Learning: Utilizing data from digital
coursework provides an even stronger approach to personalized learning through
analytics. These analytics monitor a student’s performance and can predict future
patterns for learning, giving teachers the tools necessary to prepare an appropriate
curriculum for their students.
Teacher Adaptation: Teachers develop a new approach to instructing their students
when adopting personalized learning. In a typical classroom, there are students who
are ahead of the curve and students behind the curve, with very few considered to be
on the curve. A teacher typically aims to teach on the curve, with students on either
end falling short of their learning capabilities. Personalized learning gives faculty the
ability to spend more time tailoring their approach on an individual level.
Use Case: A high school in San Diego is currently implementing the personalized
learning approach in classrooms after receivi ng a $10 million grant aimed at making
high schools more personal. The effort launched two years ago with a small group of
students. After seeing firsthand the academic success of these students, the school
decided to take the approach school-wide by introducing one grade level every year,
starting with the freshmen of 2017.
