Different students learn in different ways — and every student learns at his or her own paces.
Personalized learning has become a must-have strategy in today’s K-12 classrooms, helping educators design flexible, student-centered instruction tailored to every learner’s needs. But while schools recognize the importance of individualized instruction, many struggle to implement it effectively.
“If we want students to take ownership of their learning, we need to give them more control over how, when, and at what pace they learn.”
— Robert Barnett, co-founder of Modern Classrooms Project, author of Meet Every Learner’s Needs
