ABSTRACT

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015) highlighted technology-based personalised learning (PL) as a means of providing equitable learning experiences for all students. Many states have put forward guidance in their ESSA plans to inform professional development (PD) that empowers educators with skills that maximize PL for students. This brief analysed data from state ESSA plans to better understand how states provided guidance to prepare educators to implement technology-based PL. Results showed that some states provided guidance on preparing educators to leverage technology for PL implementation; other states initiated efforts to provide personalised PD for educators supported through technology. Opportunities of PDPL and PPD for technology-based PL were discussed.

摘要

《每个学生都成功法案》（ESSA，2015年）强调了基于技术的个性化学习（PL），以此为所有学生提供平等的学习体验。许多州在其ESSA计划中提出了指导，以告知专业发展（PD），从而使教育工作者具有最大程度地提高学生PL技能的能力。本简要分析了来自州ESSA计划的数据，以更好地了解州如何为指导教育者实施基于技术的PL提供指导。结果表明，一些州为准备教育者利用技术来实施PL提供了指导。其他州也开始努力为通过技术支持的教育者提供个性化的PD。讨论了基于技术的PL的PDPL和PPD的机会。
