Personalized Learning Boosts Math Scores, New RAND Study Finds — But Scaling Is a Challenge
Topics
Next generation learning is all about everyone in the system—from students through teachers to policymakers—taking charge of their own learning, development, and work. That doesn’t happen by forcing change through mandates and compliance. It happens by creating the environment and the equity of opportunity for everyone in the system to do their best possible work.
Coverage of the RAND Corporation study of personalized learning practices and student outcomes in NGLC schools from The 74 emphasizes the variety of practices used by the different schools in our network, the potential additional benefits to personalized learning not studies (like improving student mindset), and the potential for scale given the challenges of schools that are pressured to meet grade-level standards and lack the time to develop the resources to implement the new model.
