Great distinction between personalization , differentiation, and individualization.

Building a system of personalized learning environments takes a process and time. Check out this four year model to build a sustainable system.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Moving to a Personalized Learning Environment (PLE) is a culture shift. Moving an entire district or a region to a system with sustainable PLEs takes time and a process. PLEs are built on a human infrastructure with groups of people where some may be definitely ready and others resistant. Those that are ready may still hesitate to jump in unless they have the support and resources they need when they need it.

Technology, especially mobile devices, allows learning to feel more personal. Being connected to the content with these devices offers opportunities for anyone to learn anywhere anytime. Yet, just providing technology to learners doesn’t mean that learning is personalized.

Personalized learning has been discussed, analyzed and debated among educators from every perspective. In most cases, we agree that student voice and choice is a key ingredient in creating personalized learning environments. Last spring, a senior from Kettle Moraine School District was invited to be a guest blogger on The Institute @ CESA #1 blog to share her thoughts about personalized learning. Gillian Locke, a senior at KM Global Charter School, shared her perspective on the advantages she had in participating in a personalized learning environment and in owning her learning.
Here is just one excerpt from this insightful blog:
"Unlike most seniors in high school, I have the freedom to choose what I want to do when I wake up each morning. I am not limited to an 8 hour bell schedule like my peers, nor does my learning stop when I drive off the high school parking lot at 2:30 pm."
Thank you Gillian for giving a student voice to personalized learning.

How can Personalized Learning support the Common Core standards? Are you wondering how teachers can create personalized learning environments that support the diversity of learners in their classroom along with meeting the new CCSS?
Kathleen McClaskey, President and Digital Learning Consultant, EdTech Associates and Barbara Bray, Creative Learning Strategist, Rethinking Learning, will share the first steps in moving to a personalized learning environment to help each learner understand how they learn best, including:
> Understanding the differences between differentiation, individualization and personalization
> An overview of Universal Design of Learning and Personal Learner Profiles
> An example of a classroom redesign to support personalized learning environments
> Examples of three personal learner profiles, one Common Core ELA standard, and scenarios of how these diverse learners are supported and use multiple approaches to meet the standard

Personalizing learning for all learners means understanding the different stages of personalized learning environments (PLE). Stage One is teacher-centered with learner voice and choice. Stage Two is when teachers co-design learning with the learners. Stage Three is when learners design and drive their own learning.

Transforming a traditional classroom into a personalized learning environment takes a process. Personalized learning experts Barbara Bray and Kathleen McClaskey tell you how you can set it in motion.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Personalized learning is built on the idea that each learner is unique and learns in different ways. This is called variability in learning. To support all learners’ unique needs and preferences, learning environments have to be flexible. It takes a process to transform learning environments and change learner and teacher roles.

University learners need to be similarly considered. There is very little ubiquity of prior experience with such diverse intakes - Plan to shift from pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy. Student needs shift from early engagement where pedagogy (teacher direction) is the norm, to andragogy where the role of the teacher shifts to facilitating student engagement in the processes of learning, to heutagogy where students define and organise their own learning requirements.

The Stages of Personalized Learning Environments (version 2) was updated from feedback and input from educators around the world.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
The Stages of Personalized Learning Environments (PLE) needed to be updated again. Why? Because of the considerable feedback we received from participants in our 5 W's of Personalized Learning eCourse about our first and second versions of the chart. Some of the feedback was about consistency and flow across the stages. What worked in what stage? We definitely want to thank those that critiqued the stages for us and helped us with this version three that we hope will be the final version.-

The 5 W’s are the What, Who, Where, Why, and Wow to Personalize Learning. Learn what is and what is not personalized learning, learn how learners learn best, walk through the Three Stages of Personalized Learning Environments, understand how teacher and learner roles will change, and how to use assessment AS learning.

Several schools and districts have signed up for their own sections of the 5 Ws. We have been receiving multiple requests so decided to open up a new section on Tuesdays starting January 20, 2015.
All webinars are archived along with chat. Participants are part of a Community of Practice that stays open. Option for 2 graduate credits or 30 PD hours.
All new content and resources. We have been learning from participants and listening so wait until you see the new eCourse.

The Blueprint is the foundation, framework, and direction in building Personalized Learning Environments (PLEs) that transform teaching and learning and are sustainable over time.
Everyone in the school community is involved in the vision. Teachers are learners too. When you change the learning environment, teacher and learner roles change. Assessment is essential to measure progress and effectiveness of teaching and learning in the different Stages of Personalized Learning Environments. Assessment is conducted through each phase.

Join us on Thursday, August 16th at 1PM ET in Session 2 of Personalize Learning Blog Series when we discuss the Stages of Personalized Learning Environments.
The Stages of Personalized Learning Environments outlines the elements of the three stages of PLE's. In attempting to transform teaching and learning to personalized learning, consider where you are currently and envision which stage you can see feasible for your school, district or community. Participate in this blog to discuss the stages and where you may be currently and where you would like to go.
We came up with these questions to consider before embarking on your journey to personalize learning:
> What problems or needs have you identified in your school, organization and/or community? > What data can you show that demonstrates the need to personalize learning? > What does teaching and learning look like now? > What are stakeholders beliefs about learning and change? > Why is it critical for your organization and/or community to change now? > What challenges or obstacles do you envision as you move to personalizing learning? > What do you envision for your personalize learning environment?

Jim Rickabaugh, the Executive Director of The Institute @ CESA #1 shares their webinar on RtI and Personalized Learning and what they have experienced in year 2 of creating personalized learning environments. Here are some of his comments from the May 2012 newsletter
"More importantly, the evidence is growing that students not only thrive socially and emotionally in a personalized learning environment, their achievement is growing at a pace faster than is typical in traditional education programs. Students are accelerating beyond the curriculum designed for their grade levels while students who traditionally have struggled are learning faster and better in response to instruction that is calibrated to meet their needs."

The Stages of Personalized Learning Environments (PLE) Version One chart needed to be updated. Why? Because of the considerable feedback we received after posting our first version of the chart. Some of the feedback was about consistency and flow across the stages. What worked in what stage?
We definitely want to thank those that critiqued the stages for us and helped us with this version two. Some districts shared with us that our version one was going to be their foundation of their personalized learning initiative. We wanted to refine it so it was clear, consistent, and easily understood. We went to work to update the stages for them and anyone else moving to a personalized learning environment.
Please feel free to download version two and let us know how it supports your transformation to personalizing learning.
