• “Of 26 state education agencies (SEAs)
that stepped forward to be part of this
bold effort, six demonstrated both
readiness and capacity to establish an
Innovation Lab-comprised of the SEA,
district(s), school(s), and partners-within
their state. These pioneering states
include Kentucky, Maine, New York,
Ohio, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.”
Council of Chief State School
Officers
• “Through the PNxGL, state and
local education leaders, CCSSO,
the Stupski Foundation, and other
key partners will transform current
systems of schooling to a new
design for public education. This
ambitious effort will shift practice
and policy at the local, state, and
federal levels through a shared
vision and collective action.”

In Next Generation Learning
Environments:
……. Mastery requires that a student apply
content and skills in performance based
scenarios.
….. Students will follow customized learning
paths as they master Common Core
Standards.
……. Learning time is determined by mastery
and not grade level.

Personalized Learning
A Case for Personalized
Learning
We now know so much about how
humans learn ……
 Learning is an active, social process
 Motivation is a key component for effective
learning
 Learners bring different knowledge to a new
learning challenge
 Learners start from different places and
follow different routes to the same learning
outcome
Personalized Learning
Imagine an education system ….
That recognizes and responds to the uniqueness of
every single learner
That is flexible in where, when, and how learning
takes place
Where parents are effectively engaged in their
child’s learning
Where teachers are facilitators of learning
Supported by technology
Focused on student outcomes rather than
system inputs
Within Next Generation
Learning Environments:
ELO + NxtGL =  MASTERY
Students become
•more engaged,
•take greater ownership of learning,
•cultivate habits of mind,
•increase inquiry and solutionbuilding,
•decrease desire to give up
