What education elements does.

Personalized learning - what is it?
-
Core Four
-
Targeted Instruction - break down whole group instruction into smaller groups of students. Dynamic and purposeful groups of students.
-
After 7–8 students in a group, results taper off.
-
Challenges of targeted instruction.
-
Presence of small groups does not necessarily equal targeted instruction.
-
Data Driven Decisions - Data should inform instruction in the classroom.
-
Allow teachers AND students to reflect on and work with the data.
-
The problem with the question, “Why did you give me this grade?”
-
Tight feedback loops.
-
Standards-based grading. Can help with the process, but not the only way to do it.
