Session #1: What is Personalized Learning?
Wed. [5/8] - 3:30pm PDT, 4:30 MDT, 5:30 CDT, 6:30 EDT; Th. [5/9] - 9:30am in Sydney, Australia; 12:30am Spain
Build a common language about what personalizing learning is and is not. We will be introducing the Personalization vs Differentiation vs Individualization chart so you understand the differences around the terms and how they complement each other.
Session #2: Who are your Learners? Wed. [5/22] - 3:30pm PDT, 4:30 MDT, 5:30 CDT, 6:30 EDT; Th. [5/23] - 9:30am in Sydney, Australia; 12:30am Spain
To transform learning for all learners, it is important to know who your learners are. We will provide an understanding about how learners learn best using Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Expert Learners, the Personal Learner Profile and Class Learning Snapshot.
Session #3: Where can you Personalize Learning? Wed. [6/5] - 3:30pm PDT, 4:30 MDT, 5:30 CDT, 6:30 EDT; Th. [6/6] - 9:30am in Sydney, Australia; 12:30am Spain
We will walk through the Three Stages of Personalized Learning, share the research, examples and models of each stage along with discussions on how personalizing learning is a culture shift.
Session #4: Why Personalize Learning? Mon. [6/17] - 3:30pm PDT, 4:30 MDT, 5:30 CDT, 6:30 EDT; Tues. [6/18] - 9:30am in Sydney, Australia; 12:30am Spain
We will reflect on why it is important for learners to become self-directed, self-monitoring, independent, expert learners. Referring to our chart, Assessment as learning is based in research about how learning happens, and is characterized by learners reflecting on their own learning and making adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
Session #5: Wow - Teacher and Learner roles are changing!
Wed. [7/17] - 3:30pm PDT, 4:30 MDT, 5:30 CDT, 6:30 EDT; Th. [7/18] - 9:30am in Sydney, Australia; 12:30am Spain
When you personalize learning, teacher and learner roles change. Teachers can become a co-designer, co-learner, guide, and partner in learning. We will refer to expert and independent learners, the continuum of learning, and then show how teachers and learners can be partners in learning. We will provide examples, models, and research about these changing roles.
