Personalized Learning with Habits of Mind

Educators' most important work is to help students develop the intellectual and social strength of character necessary to live well in the world. This means rethinking traditional teacher and student roles and re-examining goal setting, lesson planning, assessment, and feedback practices. This type of personalized learning instruction helps increase the say students have in their own learning and prepare them to navigate complexities they face both inside and beyond school. The projected outcome of this course is to provide educators with the knowledge, understanding, and methodologies needed to help put students at the center of their learning as well as helps them to employ the set of dispositions for engagement and learning known as the Habits of Mind.
