Equity doesn't mean equal.

PL and equity are intertwined. A student's identity and ethnicity determine what learning needs they might have in the classroom and choices they make in regards to their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Both take into account where a student is coming from and how to move forward based on their individual needs.

PL includes ways to establish and manage an equitable classroom, where students are getting what they need and where they can bring their whole selves into the classroom.

Each student is getting what they need. Also helping kids understand that we all need different things.

Giving students PL, IS providing culturally responsive pedagogy and practice--which is an integral part of their needs.

Why Personalized Learning & Equity? Is there any other way? Our students are individuals who are training for jobs that don't exist yet- their training needs to equip them to be knowledgeable in the core information (math/reading, etc..) and be problem solvers.

Meeting the individual needs.

Getting to know students' academic abilities and also the currency they bring with them to class.

PL and Equity both focus on the needs of our students, and the recognition that everyone needs different things. While PL focuses on the "how," Equity focuses on the philosophical foundations for why we do this work.

I see the connection between PL and equity is valuing student's voice and choice in the classroom.  I agree that  not all students need the same 'way' to show learning and giving them choices will support their individual interests and ability levels.  I also think as far as data collection and understanding our students, PL will help them feel ownership and understanding as to if their learning targets were met.

PL and Equity are meeting individual students' needs

It allows students with disabilities to learn in their preferred/best way, share their knowledge, and be an important part of the community.

That students are getting what they need.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity is getting each person what they need (not necessarily the same thing) and personalized learning is also about not giving every student the same exact thing, but following student interest and supporting them

# data[].attributes.body
not giving students the same tools, but tools based on their individual needs.

# data[].attributes.body
With personalized learning, all students are working on what their individual needs are.  So all students, regardless of ethnicity, are able to flourish.

# data[].attributes.body
PL and equity are tied because students race, culture. or ethnicity is a huge part of their choice and needs as a learner.  "Personalizing learning may mean being responsive to a student's culture"
