Building Our Capacity to Implement Personalized Learning for our Learners
Edina Public Schools believes students must play an active role in what, when, where and how they learn to reach their full potential and be prepared for the dynamic world that awaits them. In Edina Public Schools, personalization affords the learner a degree of voice and choice about what is learned, when it is learned, and how it is learned. Personalization assists learners in identifying paths to master the highest standards possible by encouraging flexibility in learning with regard to time, place, pace and path. It places high value on learner-focused relationships, stimulating growth from dependent to independent learning as a student progresses through their educational experience in Edina Public Schools.
On February 21st, Jim Rickabaugh, local expert on personalized learning, came to Edina to support our middle school staff in their work on providing personalized learning for our students. Our teachers spent time together learning and working on ways to further implement personalized learning in our classrooms. We are excited about the opportunities we are providing for our students relative to this effort and look forward to growing our capacity further in the weeks and months ahead to effectively implement these practices for our learners.
