don’t worry too much - this is not about cloning! actually it’s about totally the opposite - it’s about how personalized learning approaches are unique and how what personalized learning looks like depends on what the district is like….it depends on their own dna. two weeks ago, i got the opportunity to visit msd warren township, in indiana, during the launch academy for their second personalized learning cohort, lead by the design and implementation (d&i team) from 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 . it was an eye-opening experience.
