  • They started small, and they've grown and honed their strategies each year.

      I like how they started small with 5 minutes turning into five years. It showed me a way to do a model like this with fidelity. I was also able to see I am already doing some of the things listed!

  • You should assess the number of remedial students served yearly, the successes of existing initiatives, the unique challenges faced by the many types of students that can fall within this population, and how successful your institutions is on the whole in serving these students

      I think it is important to look at your data. Tier 2 students may need something in addition to their Tier 1 instruction. Maybe the Tier 1 instruction can benefit from using the technology, but it will all be based on the data. This will determine what kind of technology the school will need to provide.
  • we wonder whether some confusion persists about the role of this technology and how drastically it may impact traditional instruction

      I wonder this as well as I take the course. If what we are currently doing is showing progress, I would want the technology to show me ways to improve the progress, not just do what we are already doing.
  • offer additional lessons on a subject until the student gains mastery

      I love this idea. The idea that a student will be able to come back to it time and time again and gain mastery of a standard is wonderful. When teaching a large group of 20-30 students, we move on when 80% have mastered the standard. I created small group time in my classroom to reach the students who have not mastered it. Using adaptive technology would be a great alternative to that.

  • Adaptive learning technology can help recognize the challenge they’re having and provide additional resources to help them work through it on their own, especially at times when a professor isn’t available to give help.

      Having addition resources is key to success. If a student is experiencing a challenging subject for them, it is nice to teach it to them in a different way.

  • We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance

      This is exactly why I think that PL will be a hard sell to my district. We ARE seeing growth on the test...does that mean that we are taking into account the whole child...no. However, this is how we measure growth and I'd like to know how we can even change that?
  • A personalized environment gives students the freedom to follow a meaningful line of inquiry, while building the skills to connect, synthesize and analyze information into original productions.

      I love that students get choice. I love that they are connecting, synthesizing and analyzing. I love that they are creating something original. I guess I am wonder what a personalized environment would be for PL. In my class we follow the Daily 5 and with that, we have a comfortable reading space, cushions that can be brought to anywhere in the room, soft lamp light, tables for 4-6 students to work together, buddy areas.."home-looking." I mean is that what this is, or am I way off base?
