Why focus on this topic?

Teacher competencies for personalized

learning must be defined, so that…

…education systems are designed to

develop teacher competencies for

personalized learning, so that…

…more teachers develop competencies

and are able to successfully personalize

learning, so that…

…more teachers and students engage

in personalized learning, so that…

…more students are engaged in deeper

learning & develop college and career-

ready knowledge, skills, and dispositions.

Where we are today

About the Competencies

• Developed from existing frameworks, research on what great teaching looks like, and direct input by policymakers practitioners who are personalizing learning in the field.

• Not meant to be a new set of standards, but are intended to emphasize the knowledge and skills that are uniquely required in personalized settings.

• Best achieved by teacher teams and when embedded within a system that supports personalized learning.

The Competencies fall within four Domains:
