iNACOL PLUGGED IN 03.23.17
Dear Colleagues:
Recently, we released a report titled What’s Possible with Personalized Learning? An Overview of Personalized Learning for Schools, Families and Communities. This paper is designed for education leaders to communicate with families, teachers, students and communities about the potential of personalized learning, and can be used to begin conversations around what modern learning environments look like and ways to best prepare students for post-secondary success. In case you missed it, we published a five-part blog series highlighting this report:
- New Report for Parents and Communities Opens Ideas on What is Possible with Personalized Learning
- What Does Personalized Learning Look Like in Schools?
- What Does Personalized Learning Mean for Students?
- What Does Personalized Learning Mean for Teachers?
- How Can Families and Communities Support Personalized Learning?
Below are the latest events, news and trends shaping the future of K-12 education.
