Teachers typically differentiate one or more of these four areas to reach different learners:

• Content: What the student needs to learn or how the student will get access to the information (e.g., using reading materials at different Lexile levels or providing both video and text options).

• Process: The activities in which the student engages in order to make sense of or master the content (e.g., tiered activities where some students work with a mentor while others work independently).

• Products: Culminating projects that ask the student to rehearse, apply, and extend what they have learned (e.g., choosing between writing an essay, creating a podcast, or building a 3D model).

• Learning Environment: The way the classroom works and feels (e.g., quiet zones for focused work vs. collaborative spaces for group discussion).Teachers typically differentiate one or more of these four areas to reach different learners:

There are four areas where teachers can differentiate instruction:

Content: Figuring out what a student needs to learn and which resources will help
Process: Activities that help students make sense of what they learn
Projects: Ways for students to “show what they know”
Learning environment: How the classroom “feels” and how the class works together

Personalized learning is an educational approach that tailors instruction, pacing, and learning environments to a student’s individual needs, skills, and interests. Unlike one-size-fits-all models, it empowers students with voice and choice in their learning path, utilizing technology and data to facilitate customized, mastery-based, and flexible education
