4. What
The mission of Loudoun County Public Schools is to empower all students to make meaningful contributions to the world.
Authentic and challenging problems are at the heart of all learning in Loudoun County Public Schools.
One to the World learning experiences includes four key elements: (1) Students work on significant content and competencies (2) Students engage with authentic challenging problems (the heart of learning in LCPS) (3) Students create public products (4) Students connect with the world to improve the quality and amplify the impact of their work.
Gold Standard Project Based Learning reflects practices that build on the One to the World key elements to attain greater student engagement and deeper learning. You can find out more about Gold Standard PBL practices here.
Personalized Learning is dynamically tailoring learning experiences to students’ strengths, needs and/or interests. A PL approach supports PBL and One to the World by encouraging the following: (1) Access to significant content for students who may have learning gaps (2) Challenges for students who have shown basic mastery (3) Relevance for all students as their interests help shape the direction of “meaningful contributions to the world.”
The outcome of learning in LCPS is students who are knowledgeable critical thinkers, communicators, collaborators, creators and contributors. These traits allow students to make meaningful contributions to the world.

5. Empowering all students to make meaningful contributions to the world.
Students need a way to feel supported in the learning process because they are afraid of risk taking that may result in failure.
Learning tasks are built in part on student interests and roles may incorporate specific strengths.
Students exhibit choice in audiences or types of products created
Connections that students make are tailored to their interests and strengths

Benefits:
Stations can address different levels of depth with students
Teachers can work with smaller groups of students to provide targeted instruction
Students have opportunities for collaborative and self-led learning
Students have multiple opportunities to reflect their learning in different ways
