the bright morning sun floods in through the yawning glass windows and casts long shadows in the front of the classroom. my colleague and i and about ten-odd teachers sit huddled at the desks near the back; some of them are poring over resources on their screens, others using markers, pens, and paper cutouts on small chart paper. independent practice, the text underneath one of these cutouts proclaims. the teacher draws an arrow to the right, as though to sequence the steps, and then draws a sort of three-step cycle that takes up most of the space. three station rotation, the teacher then proclaims in green marker and proceeds to describe in small writing what students are expected to do in each station during her 9th grade english class.

it’s hard to believe, but we’re approaching the three-year anniversary of the covid-19 shutdown in our schools. we’ve all been through a great deal of disturbance over these past three years. one of my coworkers recently shared this article on the hidden toll of “microstress” and it resonated with me. in my work with community members across the country (teachers, staff, families, school and district leaders), i’m finding that people are tired. i have a 2 year old y’all -- i’m really tired. on any given day, change is hard. right now, it’s really hard.

“i want to be in the room where it happens...” there are so many powerful scenes in the award-winning musical, hamilton. the moment aaron burr laments being left out of the decision-making process is not only a turning point in the story but a great depiction of how many feel when it comes to the all-important “rooms” where decisions that affect their lives are made.

more than ever, teachers need connections and opportunities to talk about student learning, celebrate progress and discuss overcoming challenges. the welcome and standard structure of plcs in schools is an obvious route for these professional conversations. it is easy for meetings to be eaten up with personal stories, professional questions, and school concerns. it distracts from the intention of this time, which is designed to ensure students are at the center of teaching and learning.

at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 , we define personalized learning as an instructional approach that empowers students to build ownership of their learning. and, as students transitioned back into schools in the wake of remote and hybrid learning, our district partners across the country emphasize that this student-centered approach to teaching has never been more needed. with buzzwords floating around like “learning loss,” we are at risk of losing the full story of how educators have always endeavored to meet students where they are. at this moment, personalized learning is emerging as a critical process that equips educators with the practices to support students in getting the instruction they need, when they need it.
