‘Personalised learning’ is just one example of a term discussed frequently in schools but often with different ideas and meanings. In my 30+ years as an educator, I have found that some parents have different definitions of personalised learning, while others may not be very familiar with the concept or the concrete benefits it brings to students at school! For some it means using adaptive technology that adjusts for students’ ability; for others, it means an individualised curriculum plan for each student in the classroom. Those aren’t necessarily incorrect, but they perhaps put too much focus on separating the student from their peers. They also don’t take into consideration all the ways in which students learn or are unique.
