Here, we believe that learning should be tailored to meet the unique needs and abilities of each student. By sharing resources, design strategies, and examples of successful implementation, the goal of this website is to empower educators and students to embrace this innovative approach to education. Join us as we explore the limitless possibilities of PCBL and discover how it can revolutionize the way ELA is taught and learned.

Personalizing learning even more urgent for districts in 2023 and beyond
Restricted Use
Copyright Restricted
Rating
0.0 stars

This past fall|the results from the “Nation’s Report Card,” the National Assessment of Educational Progress|painted a bleak picture of pandemic learning loss. And just before that news broke|survey data revealed that the downward trend in district enrollment has continued even since schools reopened their doors. With all this and more on their plates|it’s no wonder that many districts aren’t focusing on reinventing schools but instead are just seeking to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Efforts like personalizing learning for each student might feel superfluous or even like a distraction and headache. But the opposite is true. It’s never been more urgent for districts to begin personalizing learning for each child — to deliver every student the right learning at the right time to accelerate their progress.

The Quiet Revolution in Education: Building a More Effective, Personalized, Future-Focused Education System in Kentucky
Restricted Use
Copyright Restricted
Rating
0.0 stars

The stories we hear these days about education are largely focused either on the culture wars–what gets to be taught and what doesn’t–or how far students are “behind” in learning after nearly three pandemic school years. These stories are important, but what gets lost is the quiet revolution taking place across the nation–including in Kentucky–to modernize education for the future.

Success Criteria are the standards by which the task or project will be judged at the end to decide whether or not it has been successful. They are often brief, co-constructed with students, aim to remind students those aspects on which they need to focus, and can relate to the surface (content, ideas) and deep (relations, transfer) successes from the lesson(s).

0.0 stars

Teacher Credibility is the student’s perception of their teacher. It is vital to learning, and students are very perceptive about knowing which teachers can make a difference. There are four key factors of credibility: trust, competence, dynamism and immediacy. Trust, as in believing in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of the teacher. Competence, being the teacher’s ability to teach successfully or efficiently. Dynamism, meaning the teacher is full of energy and excitement towards content and learning. And immediacy, regarding timely feedback and response to learner needs.

Teacher Estimates of Achievement EBP
Restricted Use
Copyright Restricted
Rating
0.0 stars

Teacher Estimates of Achievement are a teacher’s belief about the level a student is able to achieve based on past experiences. Teacher beliefs are influenced by past experiences such as responses to questions, observations, written work evidence such as assignments and tests, as well as how the student has reacted to increased challenges. These beliefs in turn affect the expectations teachers set for students, establishing next challenges for learning, informing placement and intervention choices, and influencing future instructional choices.

Teacher Expectations EBP

Rating
0.0 stars

Teacher Expectations are demonstrated by the moment-to-moment interactions they have with the students they teach in thousands of almost invisible ways. Teachers give additional attention to provide more specific feedback and exhibit demonstrations of approval (for example, tone, nods, smiles) to students they expect to succeed. Teachers with high expectations have procedures in place that students manage themselves, communicate learning intentions and success criteria with the class, ask more open questions, manage behavior positively and proactively, make more positive statements and create a positive classroom climate, and set specific learning goals that are regularly reviewed with students.

Teachers Making the Shift to Equitable, Learner-Centered Education
Restricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Most educators agree that the traditional “sit and get” classroom will not help us achieve greater educational equity or promote the deeper learning skills our students need to succeed. In response, a growing number of schools, districts, and states are embracing approaches that are more equitable and learner-centered—where each student's unique profile of strengths, needs, interests, goals, family and cultural background, and experiences are nurtured and leveraged to enable them to succeed.

Rating
0.0 stars

Labeling students happens when teachers use terms associated with the ability, potential or behavior of the learners. These labels can be positive or negative and can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy. Labeling is seen as a factor that could explain differential achievement in schools by ability, class, disability, ethnicity or gender.

For learning to be effective, students must be able to make a spontaneous, unprompted, and appropriate transfer of a learning or problem-solving strategy from one context to another. This can be near transfer to new problems similar to prior instruction, or far transfer to new situations and domains.
