I can definitely see the benefits of personalized learning, but with a shortage of teachers, many districts lacking the infrastructure or means for the level of technology that we use on a daily basis, and the enormity of getting so many on the same page, this move will be astronomically time consuming. The way we assess and the framework are counter to each other. I am just not sure how we can move it forward.]]> 2019-02-15 15:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331766955 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331801008 By trying a Personalized/Blended Model. Students would be grouped according to pretests for each unit. Some would have direct instruction via online instructions (such as YouTube, Edpuzzle, etc.). A collaboration group would be doing an experiment or project. Logger Pro allows me to "see" what data the group is collecting. A practice - review - remediation group would be with me]]> 2019-02-15 16:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331801008 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331805783 Digital content such as Youtube.

I do this through various assessment tools (such as writing, multiple choice, projects, etc.). I have found that the greatest need for differentiation in my classroom is within writing. My goal is to divide students into small groups based upon their mastery of specific skills. This allows me to give small group targeted instruction in particular skill areas for those students that need additional support and allows my other groups to excel or practice in particular skill areas (such as embedding quotations).]]> 2019-02-15 17:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331844968 jpilkey2 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331846266 One of the tools I like to use the most for differentiation is NoRedInk. I can personalize student practice based upon areas of need. I am getting ready to use this in writing instruction for my students at the end of my current unit. NoRedInk has added some great writing tools in topics such as citation (avoiding plagiarism) and embedding quotations. 
Additionally, I use various online learning platforms (CommonLit, Google Classroom, NoRedInk) to allow students to personalize and work at an individualized pace. This further allows me to work on students in areas of weakness because I am able to target the instruction based upon their individual needs.]]> 2019-02-15 18:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331846266 jpilkey2 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331847387 I am excited to see that student autonomy and buy-in are topics that are heavily emphasized in the framework. Additionally, the idea of the learner profile seems to lend itself readily to the concept of digital portfolios and allows us to emphasize the whole student (not just academics, but also extracurriculars and community service). I think that it's a logical step forward in education, but I am interested to see how it will be implemented.]]> 2019-02-15 18:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331847387 jpilkey2 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331848111 The greatest area that I am struggling with with freshmen is the idea of getting them to think forward and use this as a tool in the future. I believe that digital portfolios are a great place for students to individualize their learning and showcase their reflection on their individual growth. However, I also wonder about the benefits of requiring reflections to be graded. I understand the need to make students accountable, but I also wonder if this stifles the general creativity and autonomy of the product. Overall, I view the digital student portfolio as an exciting new tool to showcase student learning/growth and make education relevant to the student.]]> 2019-02-15 18:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331848111 lshuford1 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331869757 Students often progress at different paces and have different interests. I try to spend more time with students who may require more direct involvement. Students who are pushing ahead or already understand the material well, I try to use as additional teaching assistants. They often become my group leaders, or more effectively, I will have the weaker student instruct the stronger student while the stronger student listens for correct procedures and content. 
I try to have some time in my class where I can work in smaller groups with students who require more one on one contact or might have underlying issues with prior knowledge. ]]> 2019-02-15 18:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331869757 lshuford1 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331871634 informal Q&A, poll everywhere, peardeck, practice in class, whiteboards, work in class where I can check answers as I walk around to see who is getting the content. ]]> 2019-02-15 18:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331871634 lshuford1 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331872473 Students who are going to buy into a portfolio are the ones who are going to use it effectively. Forcing all students to create a portfolio just for the sake of creating it is not differentiating the experience. Our portfolio experiences might be used by getting exemplary students to buy into it in smaller number and then use them to encourage more students. ]]> 2019-02-15 19:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331872473 lshuford1 https://padlet.com/mizjaxsun/nrjn3gugfk1l/wish/331873737 In a perfect system, this sort of idealism would be nice, but forcing a student to have ownership is in itself unrealistic.
