S2EP8 Personalized Learning Academy at New Rockford-Sheyenne

This weeks podcast is with Lynnae Liese—the Personalized Learning Coordinator at New Rockford-Sheyenne. The school recently started a Personalized Learning Academy—empowering students and giving them voice and choice in their learning. Lies says its an opt-in program where students choose three or four courses they want to study. An instructor is there one period of the day acting as a coach—allowing the students to take on their own learning choosing what they want to learn and when they want to learn. Lies says collaboration is a huge part of the learning environment.Liese will talk about how and why the program began and offer advice for other districts who may want to look into a similar program.Resources:http://www.teddintersmith.comhttp://www.ndunited.org/thecuttingedTwitter:@thecuttinged@NDDPI@tdintersmith@bistom@PrairiePublicEd
