Five Principles

We strive to create learning environments where the following Five Principles of Personalized Learning are present and interwoven. We partner with educators to meet students where they are—incorporating student agency, voice, and choice

Pln Wheel New 01

Competency-Based Learning

Students move at their optimal pace and receive credit when they demonstrate mastery of competencies—or learning targets—at each new level.

Flexible Learning

Time, space, and teacher roles adapt to the needs of students through the use of technology and flexible structures, rather than being a fixed, "one size fits all" experience.

Student-Driven Learning

Students exercise voice and choice in their learning and co-create personal academic profiles and learning plans focused on student interests, aspirations, and learning challenges.

Dispositions for Learning

With a focus on equity, identity, and concern for others, students develop the attitudes and habits necessary for academic growth and preparation for life in a global society.

Authentic Learning

Students engage in standards-aligned workplace, project- and community-based learning, with multiple opportunities to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.

A Vision for Personalized Learning in Massachusetts

Read the white paper

As a movement, personalized learning holds great promise. Dan French and Diana Lebeaux examine the educational context of Massachusetts and opportunities for transformation. The paper investigates the commonwealth's strong reputation for educational achievement to reveal entrenched achievement gaps and to suggest that the very measures we use to evaluate schools and students do not align with important indicators of preparation for college, career, and civic life in the 21st century.
