Personalized Learning, The New Look of a Classroom in the Twenty-First Century

Abstract

The personalized learning approach is beneficial for all students in the twenty-first century because it consists of instruction in the form of technology, collaboration, and small group instruction. In addition to representing content in a variety of modalities the personalized learning approach also incorporates student choice in their learning.There are two personalized learning models present in this project. The first model is considered a three station rotation because students will visit a technology, collaboration, and small group instruction station during the lesson. The second model is called a flex model which still consists of technology, collaboration, and small group instruction sections but students are given a list of assignments and get to choose which ones they complete. This capstone project contains twelve different lesson plans and supplemental material that follow the personalized learning model. Each lesson has a technology, collaboration, and small group instruction component that is ready to be shared with any Regents Chemistry student.
