Convening Three Pre-work
~ OPTIMAL PATH & PACE ~
What's the Topic?
In Convening 3, we will focus on the Optimal Path and Pace component of the OH Personalized Learning Framework.
To consider the belief that learners acquire knowledge in different ways and timeframes.
Below you will see the indicators from the Optimal Path and Pace Component:
4.1 Learners are supported by the learning community (teachers, administrators, school staff, families, etc.) to co-develop and maintain learning plans that are aligned to Ohio's State Standards and demonstrate a viable progression of knowledge skills and habits of mind.
4.2 Learners have equitable access to high-quality instructional materials (including complex grade-level texts).
4.3 Learners are provided with opportunities to progress at a pace that is appropriate to their needs in order to reach mastery of skills and competencies.
4.4 Learners engage in standards-aligned academic experiences grounded in evidence-based teaching practices in all pathways.
*For reference you can find the entire OH Personalized Learning Framework HERE.
