Learning Paths

Over the last few years, I have delved further and further into the concept of Personalized Learning. (Shoutout to PLearn Conference for getting me started.) Through this, students engage in pre-assessments where the results help to determine what their specific learning experience for the unit looks like. Students learn to use their data to guide their instruction. They engage in video notes, exploratory activities, practice assignments, choice activities, and more, all at the pace THEY feel comfortable learning the content. I utilize formative assessment results to keep track of each student's pace and understanding throughout the unit. More importantly, STUDENTS utilize their "quick-check" results to gauge how well they understood each learning target. These learning paths allow students to control their own education in ways that matter to them. I have seen so much success with students due to this style of teaching.
