Personalize Learning: Choice is More than a Menu of Options

Personalize Learning: Choice is More than a Menu of Options | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it

This post explains the continuum of building choice so learners self-direct their learning for a purpose to build agency.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Providing choice can be confusing. If learners are choosing from a set of pre-planned choices from a computer program or a list of options from the teacher, then the teacher is ultimately the one responsible for the learning not the learner. As learners increase responsibility around voice, teachers can also provide a process that builds ownership as learners move toward agency with choice.

Learner Agency: The Missing Link

Learner Agency: The Missing Link | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
First blog in series defining Learner Agency written collaboratively with the Institute of Personalized Learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Learner agency often gets missed in conversations on transforming the educational system. We have a sense of ‘agency’ when we feel in control of things that happen around us; when we feel that we can influence events. This is an important sense for learners to develop. Learners must understand:

  • when they need new learning and how to learn what they need
  • when they need to unlearn what will no longer serve them 
  • when they need to relearn what they need to be successful
