Jesse Moyer shared his research on scaling personalized learning from the recent KnowledgeWorks paper, District Conditions for Scale, that he co-authored. Here is some of his reflections about the importance of meta-themes and the ten conditions to scale personalized learning.
Vision
The district’s vision should include the guiding principles on which each decision a district makes should be based. Each of the conditions should be aligned to the district’s vision for teaching and learning.
Culture
The vision clearly informs the culture each district is trying to create. A strong culture will encourage risk-taking among district and school leaders and teachers while enabling innovation at every level of the district.
Transparency
Transparency allows everyone in the district, from board members to community partners to parents and students, to take chances without fear of failure. By encouraging transparency, everyone in the district is better able to make decisions based on the best interests of the students."
