Personalizing learning; comprehensive
systems of learning supports; world-class
knowledge and skills; performance-based
learning; anytime, everywhere opportunities;
authentic student voice.
--Council of Chief State School Officers
Learners own their learning
and their learning process: they
therefore have choice and
voice over what they learn, how
they learn, and how they show
what they know.
Learners advance after
demonstrating mastery of
explicit, measurable
learning objectives that
empower students.
Learning occurs in both faceto-face and online
experiences. Learners have
at least some control over the
time, place, path and pace of
their learning.
3. Assessment is meaningful and
a positive learning experience
for learners. Failure…may be
part of the learner’s learning
curve, but it is not an outcome.
Learners gain mastery in
mastery-based programs.
Learners have a voice in how
they show what they know.
Learning is a process, failure is a
learning opportunity.
Assessment provides critical
information about what one
still has to learn.The learning
path ―adapts‖ based on the
learner’s performance.
Feedback is immediate and
concrete.
4. Learners will master fewer—but
considerably more complex—
concepts, with significantly more
depth. To master these
concepts, learners will need to
work with increasingly
challenging ―texts.‖ Mastery
then becomes both the ability to
understand at deep levels, AND
the ability to demonstrate
understanding in multiple ways
for different audiences.
Learners own their own learning.
Successful learners understand
how they learn best. Learners
who own their own learning are
intrinsically motivated to learn
and succeed.
Technology provides’ multiple
pathways of access to the complex
concepts students must master.
Teachers can now provide guidance
and coaching on how to think deeply
about complex concepts, and how to
use technological tools for
demonstrating mastery.

15. Personalized Learning
Adjusting the pace (individualization), adjusting the approach (differentiation), and connecting
to the learner's interests and experiences. Personalization is broader than just
individualization or differentiation in that it affords the learner a degree of choice about what is
learned, when it is learned and how it is learned.

fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live

• Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the framework to make learning
personal for ALL learners.

• Learners who own their learning are intrinsically motivated to learn and
succeed.

18. What is Personalized Learning? A working draft.
In a Personalized Learning environment, students’ learning experiences
– what they learn, and how, when, and where they learn it – are tailored
to their individual developmental needs, skills, and interests. Although
where, how, and when they learn might vary according to their needs,
students also develop deep connections to each other and their teachers
and other adults.
Furthermore, each of the following are essential attributes of a
personalized learning model:
• Learner Profiles: Captures individual skills, gaps, strengths,
weaknesses, interests & aspirations of each student.
• Personal Learning Paths: Each student has learning goals &
objectives. Learning experiences are diverse and matched to the
individual needs of students.
• Individual Mastery: Continually assesses student progress against
clearly defined standards & goals. Students advance based on
demonstrated mastery.
• Flexible Learning Environment: Multiple instructional delivery
approaches that continuously optimize available resources in support
of student learning.

25. Competency education isn't a classroom practice or an add-on
program. Building upon state standards, it is a re-engineering of
our education system around learning—a re-engineering designed
for success in which failure is no longer an option. Competencybased approaches require alignment around five key elements.
•
•
•
•
•
Students advance upon mastery.
Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable
learning objectives that empower students.
Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience
for students.
Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their
individual learning needs.
Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include
application and creation of knowledge, along with the
development of important skills and dispositions.

27. Jose’s Quiz #1 on Ratio/Proportions, Number Sense, & Geometry
Traditional Scoring
Feedback: You
don’t seem to
understand the
material very
well.
Mastery-Based Scoring
Most of this quiz was on standard
6NS2, and you demonstrated a
perfect understanding of this. You
need a bit more work on 6RP1 &2.
Let’s work on G3 together.
28. The “Grades” of 4 Students using the traditional average system
29. Jose’s “Grades:” Ratio/Proportions, Number Sense, & Geometry
We haven’t been
working on G3 as
long, you need some
additional opportunities
to gain mastery here.
You have a solid
understanding of RP1 & 2.
Let’s look for patterns in
the errors you are making
to see if there is a way to
consolidate your mastery.
Your understanding here
is very strong. The error
you made on the test
was computational, not
conceptual.
30. Jose’s “Grades:” Ratio/Proportions, Number Sense, & Geometry
Schools have to define what their mastery scale is. In Jose’s school, 75% on a
standards is considered mastery. So, for Jose, he hit mastery of RP1 &2 on
the test, and on NS2 on quiz 2 and the Test. G3 would be the only standard he
would continue to need work on. (Using a traditional averaging
approach, Jose would continue to have a gap on G3).

We know we have a language problem in competency education
because each state has developed their own specific terms:
• New Hampshire & Iowa are ―competency-based‖;
• Maine, Oregon, & Colorado are ―proficiency-based‖;
• Connecticut & Michigan’s Education Achievement Authority are masterybased.

to an individual school. Blended learning programs look to leverage the best of
face-to-face learning (interaction, caring relationships with
adults, personalization, ―just-in-time‖ coaching) with the best of online
(personalization, adaptive curriculum, bringing the world to the student).
