Self-direction: The Key to Authentic Differentiation in a Post-Pandemic Era
Thursday April 3, 2025 9:00am - 10:10am EDT
Chesterfield Room
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically shifted the educational landscape, highlighting the need for flexible and personalized learning experiences. Students' ability to access course material at different times is essential as needs grow more complex. Participants will step into learners' shoes as they experience and explore a classroom model that combines teacher-curated resources and self-paced learning journeys to increase learner agency and autonomy, which increases engagement, motivation, and mastery. Participants will be able to (1) describe the principles and benefits of learner-centered instruction, (2) apply a tiered-level system to differentiate a new or current unit of study, (3) design a physical or digital progress tracker based on shared templates and samples, (4) collect practical strategies for implementing a similar model in their classrooms, and (5) access implementation support and resources for additional professional development.
