West Virginia Support for Personalized Learning (SPL)
What is SPL about?
SPL is about…

every student in WV being educated through a seamless system of high quality
instruction that maximizes learning;

understanding that solutions to needs are context specific;

having rich conversations about students that put their performance into a personalized
context;

determining whether an identified need exists for one student, a small group of students,
or a large group of students and using this knowledge to form the most appropriate
instructional response;

the individuals closest to each student, collecting pertinent data and actively participating
in designing the most appropriate response;

utilizing a problem-solving process to analyze possible reasons for a student’s academic
and/or behavioral needs and providing the most effective configuration of support;

envisioning and articulating viable expectations for every student;

identifying and manipulating the variables that influence a student’s performance.
 SPL needs to be as dynamic as students, changing in response to the needs of every
individual.
 As a process, SPL will broaden and add flexibility to the approach we will use to provide
the most appropriate instruction for every student in West Virginia.
 The success of SPL will result from all of us working together to define and responsively
redefine what is needed, student by student.
