Additional Information
“Bellanca states: ‘The aim of personalized learning plans is to advance each student’s know-how as an empowered, self-directed learner, knowing how to design, problem-solve, and make decisions as an ever more effective high-agency learner seeking deeper learning outcomes.’ This should be the ultimate goal of all of education. In this book, Bellanca has produced an incredibly detailed guide to developing students’ abilities to become self-directed learners through the use of personalized learning plans. His audience is educators, both pre-service and in-service, and he provides in-depth explanations and multiple detailed examples of ways to foster deeper personalized learning and student agency. His book is a much-needed and timely resource in any context, but it is especially important in the face of the COVID-19 challenges to education. This valuable resource presents many ways for educators to assist learners to assume more responsibility for their own learning, which is now a critical survival skill. Every educator can benefit from this book!”
