How does one South Carolina district work to ensure each student gets what they need to achieve at the highest levels? Watch to find out.
When we asked to host a virtual inquiry lab 鈥� the district鈥檚 answer to providing educators the opportunity to see personalized, competency-based learning in action and learn from their peers 鈥� they accepted the challenge and then some. They created a video that highlights the district鈥檚 journey to personalized, competency-based learning district-wide, showcasing the work they have been doing to ensure each student gets what they need to achieve at the highest levels.
And while they have been committed to personalized, competency-based learning since January of 2017, the pandemic didn鈥檛 slow them down. Much of what鈥檚 featured in the video is from the summer of 2020 to now.
Educators in this district are bridging the gaps between instructional approaches in classrooms, implementing small group instruction and in the high school, embracing what it truly means to pre-assess learners for readiness. The shifts in this small but mighty district can be credited to their vision, tenacity and their drive to do better 鈥� and I feel privileged to partner with them.
One of the first questions teachers ask about personalized learning, no matter how excited they might be to implement, is, 鈥淲hat will this look like in my classroom?鈥� In this district, they鈥檝e got a great way of answering.
