Personalized Learning
Tim Hudson, PhDVice President of Learning
@DocHudsonMath
Supporting the collaborative development of effective personalized learning models: Ideas that help leaders create and sustain innovations that benefit students, teachers, parents, and school culture.• Mission and Vision: What are our schools and programs “in
business” to accomplish?• Effort with Impact: How can data drive ongoing
improvement in student achievement and personalized learning models?
• Pedagogy and Technology: When does technology appropriately support personalized learning in pedagogically sound ways?

Is Our Mission Clear?
Leading, Implementing, & Sustaining Personalized Learning
requires a clear and consistent commitment to Mission & Vision
• “Not schooling by habit or impulse.”
• “Without a commitment to mission, we don’t really have a school; we just have a home for freelance tutors of subjects.”

“Our mission is to ensure success for all our students. We will do whatever it takes to ensure
their success – provided we don’t have to change the schedule,
modify any of our existing practices, or adopt any new practices.”

capable, curious, and confident learnerswho understand and respond to the
challenges of an ever-changing world.

“People must learn to recognize when they understand and when they need more information…[People] learn to take control of their own learning by defining learning goals and monitor their progress in achieving them… Transfer can be improved by helping students become more aware of themselves as learners who actively monitor their learning…”

Competency-Based Learning
Differentiated Instruction
“…the contemporary view of learning is that people construct new knowledge and understandings based on what they already know and believe… A critical feature of effective teaching is that it elicits… pre-existing understanding of the subject matter to be taught and provides opportunities to build on – or challenge – the initial understanding… [A person’s] initial conceptions then provide the foundation on which the more formal understanding of the subject matter is built.”

Leading, Implementing, & Sustaining Personalized Learning requires flexibility, creativity and innovation to achieve the Mission
“A looming question is whether personalized learning that works in, say, a tight-knit, mission-driven charter school can be reliably translated into traditional district schools with many more students, less flexible schedules, keener
standardized-test worries and cultures steeped in established ways of teaching and learning.”

“Traditional district schools with many

The only prerequisites for would-be Basecamp schools are:1. Commitment to Summit’s grading policy
• 30 percent of grades on mastery of content; students take tests only when they feel ready and, if they fail, can re-take them until they pass
• 70 percent of grades on students’ use of various cognitive skills, such as making inferences and clearly communicating their ideas
2. One-to-one ratio of computers to students3. Team of at least four teachers covering the core academic subjects for about
100 students

Basecamp schools are creative with scheduling, finding myriad ways to fit in personalized-learning time, mentoring
and projects while carving out extra time for teachers to plan lessons jointly and confer about students.

Today’s Lesson: Fraction Operations
I haven’t learned anything new all year. This math class is boring.
This is way too hard. It doesn’t make sense.
I give up!This math class is just right for me – not too hard, not too
easy.
Today’s Lesson: Fraction Operations
Today’s Lesson: Fraction OperationsWhy?
Today’s Lesson: Fraction OperationsWhy?
Because these students were all born during the same 12-month window about 11 years ago.
Seat-time policies, pacing calendars, standardized testing schedules, age-
based classrooms and weak competency-based tools make it difficult for me to personalize and
differentiate.

Today’s Lesson: Fraction Operations
Math is boring. Every math class is the same: Lecture,
practice, lecture, practice, quiz, test. It’s
not engaging, or authentic.
I know how to win at school. I just wait for
the teacher to show me how to solve familiar
problems.
I feel like it makes sense when my teacher shows it in class, but I’m lost when
I get home.
What are students doing in this lesson?
Is it personalized?If so, how?

generate thoughts.- T. Hudson

“True virtual manipulatives allow more than simply a viewing of objects on the computer screen. They allow increased engagement, forcing the user to interact with dynamic objects. Through this interaction students
have opportunities to make meaning and see relationships as a result of their own actions. And it is
this interactive engagement with a dynamic representation that is the key to the knowledge
construction process.”
From Virtual Manipulatives In The K-12 Classroom, Moyer, Bolyard, Spikell, 2002
Back at Summit Denali… the goal of personalized-learning time is not to replace teacher-student interactions but to enhance them.
By offloading some rote learning to a computer — such as memorizing the steps of cell division or the formulas for sine,
cosine and tangent — “we can make the most of the connections between teachers and kids,” he said. “We want more of those
interactions to be about big ideas, deeper learning and the sort of feedback that you can only get from a real, live adult.”

“Technology–enabled innovations have a different problem… those that provide online content and learning materials, use basic pedagogy – most often in the form of introducing concepts by video instruction and following up with a series of progression exercises and tests. Other digital innovations are simply tools that allow teachers to do the same age-old practices but in a digital format.” (p. 25)
