Using learners' interests, strengths, and needs as a guide, educators and learners engage in collaborative cycles of learning to develop and adjust personalized goals and learning experiences. Learners develop the knowledge, skills, and tools to direct and show mastery​ of their learning. 

Tailored Learning Resources

"Each learner comes to school with strengths and challenges along with a set of interests, talents, and aspirations. We often discover some of these qualities over the course of the school year by having conversations, observing how each learner responds in class, or through a set of data that that has been collected from standardized testing. 

Think about the learners in your class. What are their strengths and challenges in how they learn? How do they need or prefer or need to access information, engage with content and express what they know and understand? What are their talents, interests, passions, and aspirations?

Understanding our learners can not only help a teacher to better design instruction and materials, but it can also offer learners a way to develop agency as they become more and more aware of how they learn best."
