With personalized learning, teachers and students are more empowered to take charge of the education experience. This approach transforms learning environments, turning them into dynamic communities of practice populated with connected learners taking advantage of digital tools. The authors show how personalized learning with technology can be used to meet the needs of all learners - from gifted students to students with disabilities - and how it can help achieve school goals. The book concludes with a step-by-step guide for planning a school-wide personalized learning initiative. The hands-on planning and evaluation tools make this an excellent resource for teachers and administrators, both individuals and entire schools and districts.
