Podcasts about personalization a framework

"But plain old classrooms worked for me!" That's one of the common objections adults raise to the idea of replacing the factory-based classroom with a personalized model. In this episode, you'll hear a discussion between Heather Clayton Staker and Shawn Rubin, Chief Education Officer of the Highlander Institute, on the topic of personalizing learning. Heather and Shawn talk about Shawn's idea that a personalized strategy has three legs: pacing, agency, and differentiation. Then they look at a few levels of personalization, starting with Traditional Instruction, and then becoming more personalized with Macro Differentiation, Micro Differentiation, Individual Mastery, and Fully Personalized. How personalized is your school relative to Shawn's continuum? Shawn Rubin is the co-author with Cathy Sanford of Pathways to Personalization: A Framework for School Change. He has helped dozens of schools and thousands of teachers in Rhode Island seriously upgrade teaching and learning for their students.

Personalized learning has been an education buzzword for several years. A recent survey of by the state education technology directors association, or SETDA, put personalized learning at the top of the list of state priorities. But how do school leaders really do personalized learning? A new book offers something like a step-by-step manual. It’s called Pathways to Personalization: A Framework for School Change, written by two long-time school innovators, Cathy Sanford and by our guest today, Shawn Rubin. Rubin spent 10 years in the classroom, and he has been the Chief Education officer at the HIghlander Institute since 2011, and has led personalized learning efforts in Rhode Island schools. He designed the Highlander Institute’s “Fuse” program, which trains educators to lead personalized learning in schools and districts. His new book offers a five-step framework to help school leaders and teacher teams design and implement blended and personalized learning initiatives based on local needs and interests. EdSurge sat down with Rubin during the EdSurge Fusion conference in October, to talk about his book and what he’s learned about personalized learning.
