In Convening 4, we will focus on the Authentic Learning component of the OH Personalized Learning Framework.
Personalized learning requires educators to co-design and facilitate Authentic Learning pathways, experiences, and assessments, aligned to equitable supports around learners’ needs, interests, aspirations, and cultural backgrounds to foster meaningful connections to their learning.
Review the 5 indicators from the Authentic Learning component of the Ohio Personalized Learning Framework:
3.1 Personal learning pathways and experiences are learner driven.
3.2 Learners engage in relevant experiences that build skills such as innovation, problem-solving and design-thinking.
3.3 Learners are provided with opportunities to demonstrate career-ready competencies in real-world settings by solving challenges that are relevant to their local community.
3.4 Learners are immersed in experiences that are connected to their cultural identities and community contexts.
*For reference you can find the entire OH Personalized Learning Framework (Draft) HERE.

Indicator 3.4 from the Ohio Personalized Learning Framework says
3.4 Learners are immersed in experiences that are connected to their cultural identities and community contexts.
In convening 4, we are going to explore Authentic Learning through a culturally relevant and community-based context.
"Culturally responsive teaching is about tapping the schema, or the funds of knowledge, that the student brings in; it's not just about trying to build self-esteem because his racial or linguistic identity is superficially represented in a text. As a teacher, I need to recognize, honor, and actually use students' funds of knowledge to make learning sticky. The science says learning for understanding happens when we integrate new knowledge with our existing knowledge. So, the more the teacher knows about a student's schema, the more she then can start to engage that student by making "cognitive hooks" between the learner's context, interests, cultural knowledge, and the new content in the curriculum."
