What is Self-Discovery

This chapter is designed to inform teachers, administrators, policymakers, and researchers on the research available for implementing a personalized learning (PL) program. Personalized learning can be implemented in individual classrooms or schoolwide. Both scenarios are addressed. Much of the research involving PL has been performed in charter schools, and that research is also explored in this chapter. The chapter includes recommendations and identified challenges that go along with creating a program to scale, as well as discusses the impact PL initiatives have on the teaching staff. The chapter provides an introduction, background information, and case studies involving classroom and schoolwide PL programs. Additional resources are included as well.
