Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Chris Watkins, an independent consultant and leading authority on learning in the UK and former reader at The Institute of Education, London Centre for Leadership in Learning has helped us understand how to personalize learning by focusing on the learner first. He launched a new site, http://chriswatkins.net, where he uploaded over 150 of his articles, handouts, presentations and publications on learning. Watkins’ Key Issues http://chriswatkins.net/key-issues/ shows that learning is rarely a focus on classroom life. He identified three sources he calls “space invaders” that take up the space as teaching, performance and work instead of what they should be focusing on: LEARNING.

Lillian Pace shares what ESSA means for schools across our country and includes a Sample State Vision for Personalized Learning under ESSA.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is just over four months old, and it’s already dominating national, state, and local conversations about education reform. There is certainly a lot to get excited about in the new federal education law, including a long list of opportunities to make personalized learning a reality for every student in the country.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Discover how learners move from instrumental to self-actualization and from extrinsic to intrinsic as they grow and change across the continuum of motivation.

Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity to earn a reward or avoid punishment. Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in behavior because it is personally rewarding; essentially, performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for some external reward.

Pascal Baquet's curator insight, April 6, 2016 9:13 AM

Belle représentation du continuum de la motivation, et pas seulement pour les paysages de montagne!

Being validated in the are of education motivates and encourages the learner to want to learn even the more. Just think in reverse how much not being validated decreases the learners interest in learning. How many chdren/ students are counted as those just In class getting a free pass whether they are taught, learn or not? How can we tell which children are in just such a category of students/ children.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Pernille offers insight on why she embraces personalized learning after 6 years. She points out that the journey she has taken to transform herself is really about the learners that she teaches. Here is an excerpt that says it all.

"Six years ago, I set out on a journey that would challenge my belief that education was an institution that could not be changed, but instead had to be blindly followed no matter the collateral damage in its wake. I now know that the day I started asking my learners what changes they needed to become more engaged learners, was the day that I made a difference in the way education can be used. Yet this change is fundamentally not about me. It is about the learners I teach and it is for them that we must embrace a more meaningful way of educating. Call it personalizing learning or some other title, but in the end, we must make the very education that we are stewards of become about the kids that we teach again."

it leads to greater engagement and intrinsic motivation for them to want to learn,
learners setting a higher challenge for themselves,

Which is exactly why Dorothy Cook of her own attempts could not resolve the allegations of Wilson County Schools Board 2/18/2013 dated letter Re: Contact with School System Employees and Presence on School Property' as per said letter not only Dorothy Cook but all Wilson County Schools employees communications to each other is restricted which also meant Wilson County Schools Board Members who are Wilson County Schools Employees , who sent Dorothy Cook at that time Prose Rep/parent for her daughter Megan Cook for and during NC OAH Office of Administrative Hearings SEC Special Education Contested Court Case the 2/18/13 dated letter prohibited Dorothy Cook from communicating with them directly which if said communications were not prohibited Dorothy Cook could have brought the allegations an entire content of said letter to and or directly before the Wilson County Schools Board Members during their school board meeting with documented as recorded communications of Dorothy Cook statements to WCS Board Members and the Wilson County Schools Board Members responses as the school board meetings are media recorded. Yes , Dorothy Cook ,Megan Cook and ALL the Wilson County Schools employees that was or maybe still employed by WCS from ,2/18/13 until 10/2016 ,JUSTICE was silenced! but as of October, ,2016 said letter was rescinded in its entirety by Wilson County Schools Board therefore it's JUSTICE time no more sense.

Brian shares how he transformed his classroom to a learner-centered environment and what happened in the process with his learners. Here is a glimpse of his journey:

"As teachers, it is difficult to let go of control and to let our learners find the best ways for them to achieve content and curriculum goals. To be clear, our role in the classroom needs to change, and I think the trend in education is moving the correct direction--achieving and creating a learner-driven, personalized atmosphere is the key. Providing learners with the tools to succeed should be the goal, and we should focus on allowing them to use those tools in the way that works best individually. Instead of providing the blueprint for learners to achieve a goal, educators should be allowing and guiding them in designing, developing, and implementing their plan for accomplishing it. When this happens, drastic changes take place regarding engagement in our classrooms and ownership of learning appears, leading to a higher level of achievement."

Gust MEES's curator insight, May 14, 2016 9:16 PM

One of the most difficult parts of our jobs as educators is to create a learning environment where our learners are engaged and meet content and curriculum goals. From my experience, the single most important challenge that needs to be addressed to earn engagement in our classrooms is to develop a culture of learner autonomy--allowing and encouraging learners to take control of their own learning. There are many barriers that we, as educators, must work to clear in order to create a strong culture that allows our learners to feel comfortable with working toward a common goal in the way that works best for them.
