What is Personalized

Learning?
● Personalized learning is a path in
education that takes into account
the specific strengths, interests and
needs of each student and creates a
unique learning experience based
on those individual traits.
● Personalized learning centers around the task of
connecting a learner’s previous knowledge,
experiences, and abilities with training materials
that will link that understanding with new
information.

21st Century Learning
Environments
• Are structured and organized

• Support risk-taking and learning from
failure

• Connect learners with each other and the
real world
Personalized learning is important because it tailors education to
individual student needs and preferences, which can improve student
engagement, motivation, and achievement. By using this strategy
learning makes students intrinsically motivated to learn. Instead of
being told what to learn, they can choose their own path out of a set
of options. Because what they choose is personally meaningful to
them, they have intrinsic motivation to succeed.
“Traditional teaching is
something that is given to
you. Personalized
learning is something you
seek.”
