There are models, tools, and resources included for all readers to support reflection and action. Personalized learning requires a new instructional design loosely based in the old model of apprenticeship: learning by doing. We have to rethink the fundamental principles of schooling that honors students natural willingness to play, problem solve, fail, re-imagine, and share. Readers will explore a simple framework for personalized learning--co-creation, feedback, sharing, and learning--that is as powerful for a teacher to reexamine classroom practice as it is for a curriculum director to reexamine the structure of courses. To that end, the first three parts of the book are designed for every readerExplanation of personalized learning and an introduction to the framework; Description of key skills to anchor student and teacher work; and Enrollment of relevant stakeholders to create a personalized learning vision and reimagine new roles and responsibilities. Part 4 is designed to address needs specific to the individual readers job descriptions: classroom teacher, learning specialist, building principal, curriculum leader, and superintendent. For each job description, we will provide illustrative examples of staff/schools already doing the work, offer reflective questions and concrete suggestions. Three questions anchor the related discussion and resources: Given my/our vision of personalized learning, whats my job as a _____ (e.g. classroom teacher, learning specialist, building principal, curriculum leader, superintendent)? What are the resources I have? How do I leverage those resources? How do I bring people along? Part 5 brings every reader back together again to consider how to design a personalized learning pathway both for students and staff.
