Changing Systems To Personalize Learning: Teaching to Each Student

This workshop guidebook introduces teaching methods that allow students with different skills, aspirations, and interests to succeed in meeting the same standards. It is designed to facilitate workshops by the Secondary School Redesign team of The Education Alliance at Brown University but can be used easily by any educator or group of educators who want to support the growth and renewal of personalized instruction in their schools. Through experiential activities, study, and action planning, participants learn to reorient classroom teaching to allow students with different skills, aspirations, and interests to succeed in meeting uniform standards. The guidebook contains topical discussion materials, instructions, graphic organizers, exercises, protocols, and facilitator's guidelines. The workshop guidebook includes a CD-ROM with printable worksheets. (Contains a bibliography.) [This publication was written with Elizabeth Fox, Joan Landzberg, and Ann Papagiotas.]
