Equipping Students: Personalized Learning

Equip Students: EPiC provides a learning environment through a personalized education where students become collaborators, critical and creative thinkers, and communicators.
We believe students learn in different ways and at different paces. For so long, in education, we have taught whole groups, small groups, differentiated in a designated RTI time. But what if students could work at their own pace, on their own time, working towards mastery? EPiC students learn through an integrated curriculum at a personalized pace utilizing technology and dynamic teacher instruction.
As part of our vision, we have challenged ourselves to create a learning environment that personalizes the learning process for each student. Through extensive research and observations all across the country, we identified key adaptive technology programs that would support personalized learning:
We also looked deeply at project-based learning and how to best cultivate voice and choice. So what does this mean for us as educators? How do we teach 50 different students at their level when they are ready to learn?
Using real-time data to tailor instruction across all content, letting go of teacher control, cultivating creativity and passions--watch and listen to one of our fifth grade teachers reflect on implementing personalization.
