Teacher, Park Terrace
In order to personalize learning, you really have to think about what each child needs. I let them know that it's totally okay to do whatever they need to do to continue to move forward because you can't stop until you're proud.
Park Terrace
At Park Terrace, our approach to personalized learning helps students discover their unique strengths, interests and needs as a learner and find joy in learning.
Teacher, Park Terrace
I encourage student engagement in my classroom to build confidence in my students to ensure they feel safe and loved each day.
Park Terrace, Teacher
With Learner Profiles, I’m getting students to think abot what they what to be, their dreams, their likes and challenges. We have the conversation one-to-one so they’re really telling me about themselves.
