In the Blending Learning category of The Hechinger Report website, Jamie Martines introduces us to one Arizona school district's efforts to implement Personalized Learning pilot initiatives at various grade levels. Even in the schools without copious access to technology, creative ways to influence student-directed learning are devised. Marines discusses the various data points and exercises used to tailor instruction, small group activities and tutoring time, ensuring that all students attain mastery, achieve goals, and take ownership of their education.
