1 Responses to Personalized Learning Survey, question 16. Please briefly describe how you have implemented or plan to implement personalized learning in your classroom/ school Start slowly with key concepts, engage with champions to evangelize successes, plan, plan and plan again. Be utilizing our Knowledge Exchange concept We are changing our materials, educational programs, our process with teacher and developing a platform to achieve this goal also using lms At the end of the year, I plan on doing research projects and presentations for students in accelerated classes to spend time on a topic of their choosing from over the course of the year. We have implemented some adaptive tools (i- Ready...) to help us personalize learning for our K- 8 students and are also implementing strategies to regroup students for instruction particular to the identified needs. we have already implemented flipped classrooms, Wi- Fi everywhere, required standard mobile platforms, etc. always give students a choice in the process to get to an end result or product which is also a choice The student come to school and work in pre assigned task, consulting to tutor when they need; The tutor supervise the work in time pre accorded with each student case each necessity. Credit recovery, alt HS, flipped classrooms With the readiness of Wi- Fi network in classroom and students' personal mobile devices, the usage of my teaching material can shift to that mode of learning. Student led 3- way conferences. Passion Projects. Genesis Hour. Students are given some assignments that are due when they finish the assignment. No pressure on the students who will take more time to complete the assignment and more individual work with students working at a slower pace. Also allows students working at a quicker pace to move on to other areas and topics that they are free to explore. We use canned online curriculum with an adaptive feature for credit recovery. Development of powers to the person; Opportunity for personal growth that can be used in industrial activities of the institution. Acceptance of more students; increase educational offerings; cost savings in teaching impartation; improving the delivery of teaching We do this with 1-8 reading program and its been very successful in keeping students from being discouraged and motivating students to succeed. Less frustration for students but a little overwhelming for teachers. My algebra 1 class is personalized and currently has students in 6 different chapters in the book. Each student takes a pretest and then works on the sections where they need more practice. After practice, students ask for a quiz and the quiz is graded immediately and in front of the student so feedback is rapid and relevant. The next step depends on the results of the quiz and on the student. We are using personalized learning in 3 elementary schools and 4 middle schools. I wrote a book regarding a planning process that enables School District to move towards Student- Centered Learning (groups) and the deeper personalized/individualized learning processes. I use that processes with clients. Pretest, posttest We have begun to implement personalized learning through a 1:1 initiative in grades we are a MSP and will facilitate whatever the school districts choose, but will encourage it

2 We have partially implemented in our 1-4 Gifted Center. It is ungraded and students are given opportunities to work individually and with groups depending on learning goals. My position is to help teachers implement PL in their classroom and I am doing that by introducing choice boards and flipped learning to start with. Flipped classrooms (before it became 'fashionable'!) Adult literacy students each have an individual plan and tutor. We have implemented personalized learning in our staff training. I will soon be teaching elementary students, and plan to utilize personalized learning in the classroom. I ask students to design their own databases based on a personal business setting. I teach a PBL class where I use personalized learning to support the overarching performance assessment. I teach teachers so all I can do is bring them the information. Teachers use a rotation model in the classroom based on the needs of the students. Our school district is working on training teachers in this area. When redesigning my current course, will plan on using different techniques and where appropriate, consider personalized learning I work with new teachers and we do many online modules. We are also employing a flipped concept for some of our Beginning Teacher Meetings. Each student has an individualized learning plan that is developed with his or her adviser. We are trying to get teachers used to the flipped classroom model and assigning group work tied to relevant real- world projects I am offering an after school club using Minecraft to explore math concepts. I have also introduced students to coding. It is a massive undertaking. We are in year 3 and we are beginning to see some changes, but it takes time. Utilize New classrooms and Classroom 4 One I plan to work teachers to offer a variety of ways students can create and present the research that they do in the library. I also will use various apps this year to allow students to share information from a story or lesson. We are increasing the use of school owned devices to implement more specific strategies and increased the small group and remediation activities for specific students. I am the tech advisor for an elementary school and I would like to see how it works. Since we do not have personal computers for all our students to use in my school, it is not possible to do this at this time. I am hoping to receive funds to have Chrome Books (or something like it) so I can implement personalized learning in the near future. Simplemente es iniciativo propia School wide initiative with 325 of 500 learners in a personalized learning environment. Will expand to 100 % implementation next year. Co- teaching, Multi age, flexible learning space, voice and choice, less structured scheduling, competency based, Personal learning profiles. Create teaching material using available e- media and suggest that a personalization approach to my course Improve Wi- Fi network to bring a best experiences for students. We have started by doing a complete wireless infrastructure upgrade. Vicerectoria Académica Our school is a 'One Room School House' of year olds (10-12th grade). We must always be cognizant of another way to reach all students Lesson modifications for students, one on one work, technology enhancement through software and websites. We are collecting data, have interventions, and technology. I try to assess each student individually and work with that student to bring him up above the standards for that class

3 Our school has been using this process since its inception. We will install Wi- Fi and Internet access in all the classrooms. As a faculty/staff tutor/instructor I attempt to cater every lesson to the student as an individual. I make multiple lesson plans under the assumption that my instinctual method of explanation may not be what the student needs in order to understand the concept. small group session that focus on each student separately 4 teachers and an admin attended a 3- day workshop this summer. No implementation obvious at the moment. Would like to utilize the Internet of Things to implement personalized learning "where you are." We are currently implementing a personalized professional development approach for teacher. We have personalized learning at 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade levels currently. We have removed walls to make areas larger and have team teachers working with groups. Each student has a personal device (Chromebook) for use in the program; learning spaces have been redesigned to meet student comfort. It would need to begin with teacher training, because it is so different from the normal routine in the classroom. Some of our older teachers would be a hard sell as our new teachers would embrace and go forward. Start in a few classrooms and have those teachers help train others. We are in the process of designing new collaborative classrooms in the 5 new schools we will be building in the next year and a half. That will have an impact on personalized learning but it s too soon to tell what it will look like. We are a STEM school. Plus, our Social Studies lends itself to personalized learning. Moving to a one to one environment in secondary education. Added additional ipads for student use in elementary education. Interactive projectors; BYOD; Lecture capture We will commit to a 1:1 school. We will ensure that all devices are kept up to standard, and they will be reliable for students to use. Our staff has practiced personalized learning opportunities on some of our in- service days, our 5th grade teachers have used Makerspace Working to get a one- to- one school is the first step. We are starting to internally review the technology we have and where we can use it to help facilitate instruction. I use an on- line tool with my special needs and technology students to assess and improve their learning in all academic learning. Our school implements RtI (Response to Intervention) where students are given personalized learning in classrooms and study halls to help them achieve and learn more. We are moving to a 1: take the device home, with 1:1 k- 4 device availability. After our deployment of devices we will implement curricular support. I work along with the Sp. Ed teachers and classroom teachers to find/obtain information that is needed to help each student. We utilize many tools for distance learning that can be used for personalized learning. Web cam teaching with cloud based software. We also utilized BYOD in some classroom settings. Differentiated based on observed needs. I need to increase student input We already use Renaissance Learning for Math & Reading in the elementary. Our secondary students tend to be burnt out with personalized learning when they reach 7th grade. We utilize Google Classroom to provide individualized assignment and content Utilizing software based approaches to working with students Professional Development and Technology We have implemented Competency- Based Learning throughout our High School, restructured

4 our Curriculum to enable a move- on- when- ready model for students to proceed at their own pace, eliminated printed textbooks, promoted a no- printing policy, provided every student with a dedicated ipad for use at home and throughout their 24x7 learning, considering the swap of snow days for "digital learning days", and more. We empower students to learn the required material in the way that best suits each of them, and to dive deeper into subjects that are of particular interest to them. Creating more online and interactive classes. I use the workshop model for students to work at their own pace to reach individual goals. Students are assigned modules and work at their own pace and can repeat anything they have not fully grasped. Deadlines are given for testing, but students can work go beyond what is assigned for a higher degree of understanding. When not working on modules, students are completing hands on task training in the shop or completing live work in the shop for customers. Blended learning training is being offered. Leveraging a new LMS to support this need. We are in the midst of an Education Technology imitative that is running parallel to an ISTE curriculum initiative so this will be explored during that project. Learning about personalized learning, learning agreements, I teach prep/kinder. They are highly engaged, involved in their learning and set goals Now we are moving into smart classroom first. It will be implemented under funding from the HRD Ministry of Gov t of India. As of now our University has a plans but small talks. We are focusing on the healthcare field and for our current programs will not work but will work for our future programs. First conduct a skill test to classify all students according to their IQ, then plan personalized learning for every student. We will be using the iready program to teach students the skills that they need as well as challenge them to reach higher. We give each student a mentor and then customize from there. Both engaging students, and adapting to individual students. We are in the beginning stages of exploratory committee. Self- paced curriculum with pre & post testing, adaptive curriculum components In the process of learning about it...i have redesigned my classroom environment providing a variety of working, collaborative spaces. I have begun to look at how to personalize the given curriculum in my district. I have participated in a book study, am currently enrolled in our District Learning Academy and participated in many sessions at ISTE 2015 in Philadelphia. Students use technology and are paced based on their skill levels. Implementando ambientes personalizados de aprendizaje (PLE por sus siglas en inglés), para empoderar a los dicentes en como construir sus conocimientos. There are three administrators who are going to visit a district who has implemented P.L. I also like the multi- age component and want to share the info with my superintendent and staff. We will need to do some "selling" to the school board in the next year and try to make this part of our long- range plan. We use it especially for reading and grouping the students into areas where they need specific skills. Use of hosted services such as DreamBox and ThinkThroughMath. I will have to look at the approaches that seemed to have worked in the past. The use of one- to- one technology is in place with the use of computers and or ipads. This allows for one to put material on a shared platform for student access where they can read or work on an assignment at their own pace. Deadlines are provided for work to be turned in. The problem is there has to be a realm of teaching involved where students can get instruction before able to perform the tasks. We plan to use it in elective courses.

5 I use it in the STEAM Workshops ay home we have worked on differentiating and data based instruction 1 to 1 ipad in grades 6-8 Greater student choice in learning materials and assignments We gave small classes which makes personalized learning easier to plan. We are currently implementing personalized learning in our district. We have eighteen schools, five of those are traditional middle schools, twelve traditional elementary schools, and one grades 1-8 online school. We passed out ipads to all of our students K- 8 and have provided several digital content for all of our students. No immediate plans; would like to see more SOTL on this idea, as my perception of it as an opportunity to produce positive results is very favorable. I actually use to some degree now; however, without the use of a technology- based system. Curriculum and assignments are designed to allow student choice based on learning style, needs. Students have been offered alternative forms of assessment as well as the options for note taking in class When I was a teacher I taught each class with different teaching methods. Warmup, instruction, group activity, Recap. There are team based learning approaches and online individual homework but no personalized learning experiences as far as I know. All students have a chrome device entire course content is in the process of being put into a self directed LMS. Using small pieces, for example implementing as part of a new K- 5 Mathematics program My work is with students with IEPs I teach a Success group that is broken down into students who need help with a specific area. I also do speech therapy and each student's lesson is personalized to meet his/her needs for communication. For safety purposes, cannot implement now. In planning stages!!! Learning more about the idea Given the appropriate technology and a redefinition of the role of the technology teacher, I would implement STEM, maker spaces and student led learning/teaching. I am working with a group of 16 math teachers, grades 3-6 around the ideas of personalized and blended learning. It is a year long PD experience. Established an eportfolio system based on the SCANS report (1993) and Arnold Packer's Kellogg- Ford funded research on "verified resumes." 1 to 1 Slow rollout of classroom sets of devices. Much time is being spent on the development of "smart" digital objects. I started last year in Writer's Workshop. I worked with students as they self- selected their learning target goal, evidence markers of achievement, and strategies/activities to help them meet their goal. I started with the Daily 5 model. My plan was to start with allowing student choice and voice. We worked on goal setting. This yr. I want to include parents in goal setting process. I'd like to add maker space. By simply adapting to students' needs, often with the help of technology. We already are a 1:1 ipad school. The apps allow students to work at their own pace in a lot of areas. We will be providing Prof. Dev. to teachers regarding personalized learning; competence based learning and flipped classrooms. We also plan to have a makerspace in every building with a focus on STEM activities. We have a variety of populations and attempt to use necessary tools to ensure the concepts

6 are learned. For example we have hearing impaired students and have a fairly rigorous assessment process High school working toward 1:1 Targeted instructional techniques and strategies. Through faculty development and online course building Flipped/blended learning & SOLO taxonomy New campus enabled us to implement (design, build and implement) Using technological tools Assessed my students' learning styles, prepared lessons and class activities with multiple intelligences in mind. Using LMS, curriculum are reformatted to be competency- based, classrooms equipped with smart TV, connectivity tools (computers, apple tv, Wi- Fi, etc) Use either continua of language and mathematics also in inquiry we are a pyp school; Have used this for 15 years not all teachers can do it We plan on using Smarter Measure next year. Thanks for asking these questions; I believe technology has a large "support" role in learning.
