This article was all about personal
learning pacing things out at an individual students' pace. We spent
most of the day today as a District School Improvement Team talking
about differentiated instruction. The information in this article is
very similar to what we spoke about at our team meeting.
Differentiated instruction is a huge part of student learning. It
makes no sense to keep advanced students back who are ready to move
in. On the other hand the students who need to take more time need to
be moving at pace that is right for them. That is part of unlocking
mastery learning.

I think this is one of the most difficult things to do in a classroom in certain situations but it is also so important! If we can't tailor instruction to our students they will not be engaged and will not want to learn.
