An Overview in Quotes
PERSONALIZED LEARNING TAB:
“The personalized learning approach lends itself to collaboration between the school, the teachers, the students, and parents to design learning programs that meet the needs and goals of individual students. A personalized learning approach takes a definitive stand that a one-size-fits-all approach in education is not in the best interests of all students/learners. Choice and flexibility are emphasized within a personalized learning approach however, fundamental curriculum requirements and learning standards continue.”
