PL matters to me because every student deserves to have their individual needs met and to feel excited and engaged about their learning.

PL matters to me because we need to be moving towards education that creates students that are problem solvers and critical thinkers. Students need to learn skills that will help them be successful in the every changing society that we live in.

I believe PL is important because so many of our students are disconnected from the traditional practices and pedagogies of our current instructional model. Without a connection, I feel as if they simply float through the system and end up in a strange space after school in which they have no direction or the skills necessary to change their course.

PL matters to me because every child CAN learn and it feels like the weight of a serious responsibility to make sure they are all provided the tools and resources to do so.

Personalized learning matters to me because it gives everyone what they need.  It feels as if students who follow the general curriculum have a stronger sense of getting lost at times. I feel as if personalized learning will support and engage everyone.

Personalized learning matters to me because it will help our students become independent thinkers and problem solvers. I want my students to learn the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. Many students have said to me they want to do something exciting in their life, and I believe personalized learning will allow them to learn what they need to and get excited about learning.

Personalized Learning matters to me because we need to be able to reach all students in the way that they learn best. It is also a great way to increase engagement in the classrooms and have students take ownership for their own learning.

I experienced PL as an elementary student. I had choice regarding the content I wished to study for 4 weeks. I felt more accountable and invested in my success. It was natural to develop learning goals and then to see the degree to which I met them.

I felt like I was in a box in high school. I had some choice when it came to electives, but that was all. When I got to college and experience true freedom in designing my own education, I fell in love. I excelled academically beyond what I did in high school because I had more control over when, how and where I studied, on top of choosing more courses that personally interested me.

Our students generally struggle with connecting to their learning and taking ownership of their learning. Their is also a strong sense of apathy within our district. Personalized learning will (I hope) allow students to connect and engage in their own learning process. Also increasing the ideas of "You can succeed and achieve your goals", it really matters.

Personalized Learning matters to me because I think of my husband who was not a "typical" learner and he hated school. Sitting and getting information was not something that worked for him. He attempted college but did not finish due to this same type of delivery. Now that we have children, I wonder if either of them will be the type of learner he is. If they are, I want them to be excited to learn and have the option to learn in any way that is going to engage them. I want this not only for my own children but also for all children because I truly believe ALL children can learn.
