On November 9, 2017, Future Ready Schools® (FRS) held a webinar that is part of its Leadership Hub, a one-stop-shop of professional learning opportunities for school leaders.
The Alliance for Excellent Education defines personalized learning as “a student-centered approach designed to help all students develop a set of skills collectively known as the deeper learning competencies. These skills include thinking critically, using knowledge and information to solve complex problems, working collaboratively, communicating effectively, learning how to learn, and developing academic mindsets.”
The implementation of personalized learning requires changes in the way districts and schools utilize instructional time and design learning spaces. In this webinar, panelists shared experiences on how their districts shifted to digital as well as unique approaches to transforming learning into a personalized experience that engages students and improves their outcomes. Panelists explained how they responded to student needs by rethinking, redesigning, and transitioning learning spaces. They also addressed questions submitted by online viewers.
Support for this webinar is provided in part by Pearson.
