Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Put learning back into the hands of the learner! Through personalized learning, education as we know it is transformed as learners are empowered to take control of their own learning. This thorough and timely resource draws on Universal Design for Learning® principles to create a powerful shift in classroom dynamics by guiding learners to become self-directed, self-monitoring, and self-motivated.

Jeff Utecht provides food for thought on personalizing education and what it means for the learner.
"Does it really matter that every child learns the same thing or at the same time? Or is it more important that they just become a learner? Learning how to learn, unlearn, and relearn and having the skills and the passion to make it happen.
What if it was just a school's mission and vision, or in my school's case, our Definition of Learning that drove learning in our schools. What if at the end of every year kids had to show this:
We value meaningful learning where students construct enduring understanding by developing and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Increased understanding is evidenced by students who: > Explain its relevance
Do we care what class it happens in? Do we really care about the content? Or can we stand in awe of the great work our kids can produce when we make it personal and allow their passion to show through."

These teachers made room for playful exploration and student passions in the classroom, helping their students to develop the purpose that drives them.

I have long been an advocate of finding activities that promote creativity and innovation in students. The seven key skills Tony Wagner lists for students don't involve any specific content. While I do believe these are vitally important, it seems unlikely that they will replace specific academic standards any time soon. Because fostering creativity has been an important part of my life, and I have seen it do wonders in the lives of students, I would definitely encourage my teachers to utilize teaching methods and activities that enable this to occur. Interdisciplinary learning, team collaboration, risk taking, and cultivated intrinsic motivation are definite assets to students in the real world. But in our present situation we as educators need to find ways to pass on these valuable lessons while still teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Finding one's passion and true purpose in life is essential to human flourishing.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
In this new RSA Shorts video, Sir Ken Robinson argues that education, organisations and communities need to be built on a model of diversity rather than conformity, so that every individual is able to discover and develop their unique talents and abilities.

So glad to share my story and where my passion comes from to work each day so we can create personalized learning environments where every child can own their learning.
