High School Personalized Learning

2. My actual score had me ranging from high to low - Initiator (thirteen), Encourager (eight), Gatekeeper and Summarizer (seven), and Harmonizer (six).

A successful application of this concept, created in 2008, is Khan Academy. Students create accounts and sign into the Kahn Academy to choose a course of study. They have the option of choosing their starting point or taking an assessment to define their level. Students watch videos and work through practice exercises; all the while, their progress monitored. Badges are earned at a variety of achievement levels creating a sense of accomplishment, as well as bragging rights with peers when this program is utilized in a blended format within an educational setting (Khan Academy, n.d.).

We are founded in Alabama and we have been educating our son via Church School for years. We love it and wouldn’t want it any other way. This is why we decided to help other parents have that same freedom to teach their children. We offer a family-based educational program for grades Kindergarten to 12th grade.

(1) The article “Project-Based Instruction: A Great Match for Informational Texts” by Nell K. Duke, discusses the idea of implementing project based learning and how it can greatly improve student’s education. According to Duke, project based instruction involves “working over an extended time period for a purpose beyond satisfying a school requirement”. This includes doing projects in order to “build something, to create something, to respond to a question [students] have, to solve a real problem, or to address a real need” (Duke 1). The article talks about the benefits of this type of instruction and specific examples of how it can be implemented in the school curriculum and Common Core State Standards. Duke also emphasizes how the projects that are implemented should serve a real- life purpose so that students feel more engaged knowing their work will be seen by others outside the classroom and can even help solve a real-life

NexTech High School is a public blended learning institution that services the greater Lansing area. We provide an alternative environment for our students to flourish and grow academically while providing more individualized support than can be provided at a typical public school. Our students attend classes for four hours a day, four days a week and are expected to complete coursework both at school and at home. Our schedule accommodates students who must work during school hours to help support their family, those who have faced issues at their previous public institution, and those who wish to work at an accelerated pace. Our mission is to provide the most nourishing environment for our students to realize academic success.

The lessons were created and implanted through our online class system, Canvas. The students learned strategies and perform tasks that related to their classes and assignments. They set goals, planned their time and then reflected on the outcomes. A notebook was used to record their lessons and keep track of their goals. Over the course of the year, students learned to organized their backpacks, plan their study time and learned how to email their teachers. The set personal goals with

I have submitted the Western High Case study as an artifact to meet Standard IV. This case study provides an example of how an educational leader applies knowledge that promotes the success of every student by collaborating with faculty, staff, students and community stakeholders. It provides an opportunity for the school and community to work together and on a common goal. It shows how valuable the community and its resources are to the success of a school. It is evident schools and communities need each other for the success of their students.

This session focuses on the critical importance of ongoing professional learning for a successful blended learning transition. Participants will examine the core competencies of blended teaching as they think about the professional learning content that needs to be addressed. Participants will also discuss the core principles of effective professional learning, as they explore and plan models aligned to these principles with approaches that are ongoing, job-embedded, personalized, collaborative and connected to content. An important focus of this session is the key role of the principal in leading

SAFSA is one of the few schools that embrace the new alternative approach in education. Researchers and SAFSA agreed to design and develop the self-paced curriculum allows students with children or students who work full time to attend school part time so they can tend to their children and make money for their families. Students do not appear to earn credits on the basis of attendance (Franklin et al., 2007,p. 141) The concept of self paced instruction is innovation in education. For years, teachers are the instructors of education. Now, teachers are in the backup roles that assist self-paced learners and follow their curriculum to support to complete their education. On the other hand, (Franklin et al., 2007, p. 142) study revealed the

Schools are increasing time available for instruction by extending classes beyond the traditional fifty minutes. The reason for this is because when students are in up to eight classes that are fifty minutes the content can become fragmented. There is less time for students to reflect on the eight subjects they are being taught and can only produce moderate work. Some high schools provide students with dual enrolled courses with a partnering university. If a student decides to use this opportunity, students are able to graduate high school with college credit because of the extended time formats in block scheduling. Teachers at schools benefit greatly because they have time to improve on their pedagogy by learning new and engaging instructional

The Scarborough is a vast dwelling place for multi cultural communities. It is also the place for best education in Ontario. There are many school-going students from elementary to university level. The school-going students and their parents are mostly in search for the high school math tutoring. Since, math is a difficult subject for many boy and girl students. However, there is Infinity Tutors, who can assist your school-going children to understand from the basics to perform the present class study so easily that they just love to do math any time.

Landmark Collegiate has recently introduced project-based learning as a critical component of the school's pedagogical structure, purposefully incorporating project-based learning into student timetables. As a teacher, one of my primary professional goals is to encourage the intellectual engagement of my students and to develop their learning processes. I would like to balance periods of instruction, and a structured classroom, with inquiry based discussions that promote collaborative thinking and lead to independent projects, thereby making Landmark Collegiate relevant and important to my students in the 21st

Understands the importance of applying the knowledge learned in the classroom to continued personal and career development potential.

Project-based learning will be implemented to address the academic needs of students who have not been academically successful. As part of the TCP an evaluation and leadership team (TCLT) has been established for

With the realization that not every child is the same, or learns the same as another, teachers need to take the steps necessary to ensure that their students are all getting educational opportunities that work the best for them. The idea of personalized learning has been around for quite some time, yet not all teachers seem to have the same understanding of what it is and how it works. The article “What is ‘Personalized Learning’? Educators Seek Clarity”, mentions three important aspects of the problem; an outline of the general solution, emphasizes “essential elements”, and brings the problem into the hands of students. Teachers need to have a basic understanding on how to personalize their students learning because every child learns differently from the next.
