Calcutta Public School

To get an idea of what personalized learning is, try to picture a classroom that does not
have a “one size fits all” approach to education. The teacher does not lead all students
through the same style of teaching. Instead, the teacher guides each student on an
individualized journey. The what, when, where and how of learning is tailored to meet
each student’s strengths, skills, needs and interests.
Students may learn some skills at different paces. But their learning plans still keep them
on track to meet the standards of the school. Pupils learn in different ways and at
different paces. Personalized learning is a teaching model based on that premise.
Students work with their teachers to set both short-term and long-term goals. This
process helps students take ownership of their learning.
Teachers make sure learning plans or project-based learning match up with academic
standards. And they check to see if students are demonstrating the skills they’re expected to learn as they progress through their education.
