The Future of Learning: Meeting the Needs of All Learners

In the past, most teachers would teach at a level appropriate for a student who was slightly below average. When stated this plainly, that practice can sound like a depressing state of affairs. In recent years, an emphasis has been placed on differentiated instruction. The idea is that teachers would not attempt to teach the same material in the same way to every student in the class. Rather, teachers would differentiate the curriculum so that students would have multiple options for their instruction and assessment. Another similar trend is that of personalized instruction. As the term suggests, the idea is that teachers would teach directly to the needs of each student. It probably would not have been possible to personalize learning a generation ago, but the new generation of tech tools makes it a possibility.
