Personalized+Learning

From //The Glossary of Education Rerform//:

The term **personalized learning **, or //personalization //, refers to a diverse variety of educational programs, learning experiences , instructional approaches, and [|academic-support strategies]  that are intended to address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students. Personalized learning is generally seen as an alternative to so-called “one-size-fits-all” approaches to schooling in which teachers may, for example, provide all students in a given course with the same type of instruction, the same assignments, and the same [|assessments]  with little variation or modification from student to student. Personalized learning may also be called [|//student-centered learning//] , since the general goal is to make individual learning needs the primary consideration in important educational and instructional decisions, rather than what might be preferred, more convenient, or logistically easier for teachers and schools.
