Chris Watkins, an independent consultant and leading authority on learning in the UK and former reader at The Institute of Education, London Centre for Leadership in Learning has helped us understand how to personalize learning by focusing on the learner first. He launched a new site, http://chriswatkins.net, where he uploaded over 150 of his articles, handouts, presentations and publications on learning. Watkins’ Key Issues http://chriswatkins.net/key-issues/ shows that learning is rarely a focus on classroom life. He identified three sources he calls “space invaders” that take up the space as teaching, performance and work instead of what they should be focusing on: LEARNING.

Chris Watkins' article, Research Matters: Learning, Performance and Improvement, is about the relationship between learning in schools and performance in schools. Watkins' research concludes that a focus on learning can enhance performance, where a focus on performance alone can depress performance. With traditional instruction, the climate in the classrooms becomes more performance oriented over years of schooling. A performance-oriented environment focuses on looking good rather than learning well.

John H. Clarke shares the Pathways Program at Mt. Abraham High School and why all learning is personal.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight: In our interview with John, he reflects about personalized learning and what it means for high schools:
"Personalized learning emphasizes the beliefs, talents, interests and aspirations already in place, using them to probe deeply into the questions that the individual finds meaningful and useful. Personal questions then become tools for analysis and creative work. Personalized high schools use this dynamic process to make learning more effective as well as more applicable."

Kevin McLaughlin shares how he has personalized learning for every learner and how this experience has surpassed any aspirations he had. He offers a few pointers on how to begin.
"Personalising Learning is not something you can pick up and start in your own class tomorrow. You need to take into account most if not all of the following.
> It takes a lot of thought and effort > It takes time to build up a clear picture of every learner in your class and where they are in their own learning > It takes courage to stand back as a teacher and let the learning happen of its own accord > It requires a vision and belief that it will work > It needs careful planning but still allow for change at a moments notice > It needs the voice of the learner to be listened to to steer the direction of the learning > It needs you to rethink your classroom layout > It needs you to rethink your approach to teaching and learning
In the last 8 weeks I have witnessed learners blossoming, growing, developing skills that would have otherwise been kept contained due to an over adherence to the 3-step teaching model (Introduction, Main Activity, Plenary)." Via Kathleen McClaskey

Just think in reverse how much not being validated decreases the learners interest in learning. How many chdren/ students are counted as those just In class getting a free pass whether they are taught, learn or not? How can we tell which children are in just such a category of students/ children.

February 26, 2015 2:16 PM
Jesse Moyer shared his research on scaling personalized learning from the recent KnowledgeWorks paper, District Conditions for Scale, that he co-authored. Here is some of his reflections about the importance of meta-themes and the ten conditions to scale personalized learning. "While the conditions themselves are extremely important, it is the meta-themes that serve as the connective tissues of the conditions and are the reason that a district must implement each of the ten conditions in order to successfully scale practices to improve teaching, learning, and student achievement.
Vision The district’s vision should include the guiding principles on which each decision a district makes should be based. Each of the conditions should be aligned to the district’s vision for teaching and learning. Culture The vision clearly informs the culture each district is trying to create. A strong culture will encourage risk-taking among district and school leaders and teachers while enabling innovation at every level of the district. Transparency Transparency allows everyone in the district, from board members to community partners to parents and students, to take chances without fear of failure. By encouraging transparency, everyone in the district is better able to make decisions based on the best interests of the students."

Great distinction between personalization , differentiation, and individualization.

From your feedback, we revised the chart so assessment AS, OF, and FOR learning was clarified for each of the terms.
Differentiation involves assessment FOR learning and OF learning. This is assessment that involves time-based testing where teachers provide feedback to advance learning.
Personalization involves assessment AS learning, FOR learning, and a minimal OF learning. This is where teachers develop capacity so learners become independent learners who set goals, monitor progress, and reflect on learning. Assessments are based on mastery. Via Barbara Bray

The UDL 2.0 Guidelines can assist anyone who plans lessons/units of study or develops curricula (goals, methods, materials, and assessments) to reduce barriers, as well as optimize levels of challenge and support, to meet the needs of all learners from the start. They can also help educators identify the barriers found in existing curricula. You can use the UDL Guidelines to help you determine your learners strengths, interests, and challenges and how they:
> prefer or need to access and process information. > prefer to express what they know. > like to engage with the content.
When learners know how they prefer or need to access information, engage with the content, and express what they know and understand, then they take responsibility for their learning.

In this blog, Clare Bertrand reflects on the "Powering Up Success" event on EdWeek in early October.
"I loved this discussion–it is a great example of how technology integration can put the student in control of his or her own learning and also enable teachers to learn from their students. Technology helps to facilitate the notion that everyone in the classroom (whether that classroom is virtual or physical) is a learner.
Personalized learning, or student-centered learning, supports this notion of flexible roles for both teachers and students in the classroom. Barbara Cervone and Kathleen Cushman highlight how student-centered teachers see themselves as continual learners in their paper: Teachers at Work: Six Exemplars of Everyday Practice. They also stress the importance of a culture that employs common planning time and classroom observation as tools for innovation. Using these structures consistently and in a supportive manner (i.e., non-evaluative) are key to helping teachers reflect and respond to their students' needs and shape their own continual learning agenda. Students also thrive when given leadership roles, are reminded that they bring knowledge and expertise into the classroom, and have the time to partake in self-guided knowledge discovery in any learning environment."

Gillian Locke, a senior at Kettle Moraine School Districts’ KM Global Charter School is a guest blogger this week @ CESA#1. Gillian is in a personalized learning environment at KM Global and spoke eloquently about her experiences when she was one of the panelists at CESA#1 Youth Summit in March. Here are some of her thoughts about personalized learning:
"Unlike most seniors in high school, I have the freedom to choose what I want to do when I wake up each morning. I am not limited to an 8 hour bell schedule like my peers, nor does my learning stop when I drive off the high school parking lot at 2:30 pm. I don’t have to just do homework in the evenings, and don’t even have to go to classes during the day. Being a part of Kettle Moraine’s new charter school KM Global allows me to direct my learning on my own.
Because I have so many options, and different formats for learning, I have become a lot more in tune with how I learn best."
