Overview of Adaptive Learning
*Adaptive learning is a concept and a tool.

● Two-to-three year adoption plan due to limited development and programs

● Simultaneously teaches and assesses for continuous improvement
● Uses software and online platforms that adjust to individual students’ needs as
they learn
● Adaptive learning dashboards can help teachers and school leaders better
evaluate the effectiveness of their curriculum
Discussions about Adaptive Learning...
● A recent article published by the
Christensen Institute counters, “More
powerful personalization comes from using
computers to enable teachers to provide
more personalized learning.
● The ability for students to track their own
learning means that they can develop
valuable self-monitoring skills, and engage
in their personal learning progress. - See

● in-person instruction does not fall out of the
picture in most cases; in fact, it may
strengthen instruction as faculty take on a
more supporting, coaching role, with less
time devoted to delivery of content, which
students may or may not already have
mastered, and more time focused on one-to-
one student engagement and self-paced
guidance through a curriculum. - See more
