Personalized Learning is not an off-the-shelf product or a plug-and-play program.  It is an approach that needs to be developed and it involves “shifts” more than methodologies.  In this session, we’ll explore the major design and cultural elements needed to tackle this transformational approach through the lens of one school’s journey. 

The Anglo-American School's (Moscow) recent work towards uncovering the shifts of personalized learning in their environment will provide a model for uncovering your own school’s potential 'next step' strategies.
