What+is+Personalized+Learning?

** Personalized Learning ** at Trinity School is tailoring education in ways that fulfill the unique potential of each student. The goal of personalizing learning is to enhance every child’s ability to become a responsible, productive, and compassionate member of the expanding global community. A key assumption is that the more a child knows about his or her learning, the more he or she will thrive as a learner in and out of school.

** Personalized Learning ** involves:
 * Knowledge of the complexity of each child as an individual learner.
 * Flexibility in curriculum and instruction that acknowledges each child’s uniqueness while maintaining high standards.
 * Development of a Personal Learning Portfolio as a tool for assessing and communicating the progress for each child.

A **Personal Learning Portfolio** is an online educational tool that extends a teacher’s ability to understand, assess, and communicate the progress of an individual child.

A **Personal Learning Portfolio** involves:
 * A year-to-year, on-line educational instrument that contains a) family background, b) formal assessments, and c) a robust student profile.
 * A three-dimensional picture of a child’s learning that reflects strengths, challenges, progress, and the child’s actual work.
 * Perspectives by the teacher, the student, and the parent, with the recognition that a child’s learning and development are complex and multidimensional.
