Personalized Learning at Central Valley

I talked about Personalized Learning in a previous post. We implemented this teaching style in the school district I work for, Central Valley Central School District in Ilion, New York. I wanted to share some videos that were created when the new teaching style was introduced at the school district. The videos explain what the concept is and how it has been implemented in the classroom. You will hear from elementary and middle school teachers' perspectives on how it is working as they have seen student improvement in a short time. The best part is hearing from the students in the second video!

Learning has become fun for students and they are learning important social skills working together and collaborating when necessary. They learn responsibility and prioritizing since they can work at their own pace and know what needs to get done each week. These are important life skills needed to be ready for college and future careers. Often I have heard my daughter say, "Why didn't we do that when I was in school?" She feels personalized learning would have definitely been an asset to her education in middle and high school.
