Competencies and Personalized Learning Center on innovations in learning June 2016

Personalized learning Personalization refers to a teacher’s relationships with students and their families and the use of multiple instructional modes to scaffold each student’s learning and enhance the student’s personal competencies [cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, social/emotional]. Personalized learning varies the time, place, and pace of learning for each student, enlists the student in the creation of learning pathways, and utilizes technology to manage and document the learning process and access rich sources of information. - Twyman & Redding, 2015, p. 3
