Personalized Learning Definition
Learning is a personal experience. By co-
designing meaningful opportunities with
teachers and mentors, the individual is at
the center of her/his learning. Instruction is
something we do with, rather than to
learning, to promote growth, achievement,
and lifelong success.

Performance/Flex Groups
Foster personalized learning through a
continuous progress instructional model that
allows children to progress through
curriculum as they are able, rather than a
strict adherence to age/grade configuration to
be fully implemented by 2015.
 Performance Group
Based on a student’s current level of
performance, not their ability.
*60 minutes for math and reading
*Limits the range of students performances within
your math and reading
*Gives students a voice while you provide the
choice
 Performance Flex Groups
● Flexed across grades levels to find the best “fit” for
students’ readiness and performance.
● Limit the range of student performances in math and
reading.
● Voice and Choice for students
● MAP Standard deviations
● CVR - Reading (60 minutes) & Math (60 minutes)
● K12, 345
Making the Groups
● Formula:
● Spring MAP score (200 points) + Rubric (45 points) +
Group Level (45 points) + MCA score (100 points) =
Final Score used to make groups
● Fall MAP scores used to identify outliers and additional
moves.
● First year Challenges - Rubric feedback and past group
levels
● Will need patience and flexibility
