Districts nationwide are incorporating GT programming into
personalized learning (PL) frameworks.
For those who have embraced PL, the emphases on individualized pacing, student goals and student voice, and learner engagement seem highly appropriate for advanced learners. But how does it work, and what does it look like? Do you start from scratch, or do you incorporate current advanced learner options into the new structure? How do you make sure that equity and excellence are both key components of personalized learning? What about student voice?
Join panelists who have wrestled with practical “how-to” questions in at least seven areas: identification, readiness, diversity, programming, staffing, databases, and communication.
See attached "handout" for more detail!Session participants will:
- Learn a brief history of personalized learning (PL)
- Consider and appreciate the issues involved in transitioning gifted programming into a PL system
- Apply information to their own situations by questioning panelists
NAGC Standards AddressedA full restructuring to a personalized learning system would necessarily involve all six standards, but this session will focus on:
Standard 1: Learning and Development (with a focus on student need and voice)
Standard 5. Programming (with a focus on the nuts & bolts of how to do this in a PL environment).
