The purpose of this survey is to collect data on personalized learning in your district. The survey was developed by the MAPLE Consortium (Massachusetts Personalized Learning Edtech Consortium) and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. It should be completed by your designated leader of learning and teaching (i.e., assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, curriculum coordinator, etc.).
What is personalized learning? MAPLE defines personalized learning as follows:
"Personalized learning seeks to accelerate student learning by tailoring the instructional environment – what, when, how and where students learn – to address the individual needs, skills and interests of each student.
Within a framework of established curriculum standards and high expectations, personalized learning motivates students to reach their goals. Students take ownership of their own learning and develop deep, personal connections with each other, their teachers and other adults.
Technology is necessary to implement personalized learning effectively, affordably, and at significant scale. Teachers leverage technology to gain detailed and timely knowledge of their students that guides instruction. Effective use of technology allows teachers and students to focus more on creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration."
This survey should take no more than 20 minutes. Your answers will be kept anonymous and responses will be summarized such that no district will be identified in our reports. We appreciate your time and effort in filling out this survey.
