Council of Chief State School Officers “Of 26 state education agencies (SEAs) that stepped forward to be part of this bold effort, six demonstrated both readiness and capacity to establish an Innovation Lab-comprised of the SEA, district(s), school(s), and partners-within their state. These pioneering states include Kentucky, Maine, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.”

Council of Chief State School Officers “Through the PNxGL, state and local education leaders, CCSSO, the Stupski Foundation, and other key partners will transform current systems of schooling to a new design for public education. This ambitious effort will shift practice and policy at the local, state, and federal levels through a shared vision and collective action.”

Personalized Learning

A Case for Personalized Learning We now know so much about how humans learn ……  Learning is an active, social process  Motivation is a key component for effective learning  Learners bring different knowledge to a new learning challenge  Learners start from different places and follow different routes to the same learning outcome

Personalized Learning Imagine an education system …. That recognizes and responds to the uniqueness of every single learner That is flexible in where, when, and how learning takes place Where parents are effectively engaged in their child’s learning Where teachers are facilitators of learning Supported by technology Focused on student outcomes rather than system inputs

Within Next Generation Learning Environments: ELO + NxtGL =  MASTERY Students become more engaged, take greater ownership of learning, cultivate habits of mind, increase inquiry and solution- building, decrease desire to give up

Let the Journey Continue!!
