Personalized Learning
What is the vision?
Personalized learning is an educational approach that aims to customize learning for each student’s strengths, needs, skills, and interests. At Feather River Charter School, we recognize kids learn in different ways and at different paces. Students work with their teachers to set both short-term and long-term goals. This process helps students take ownership of their learning.
Curriculum Selection
Families and their teachers carefully select secular educational products, such as curriculum, technology items, supplemental enrichment materials, and field trip opportunities, as well as services, such as enrichment lessons and classes to provide students the opportunity to reflect upon their learning and shape their future, and enables the adults in their lives to better understand each student as a unique individual.
Personalized Learning occurs as a result of mutual respect between the parent who homeschools and a caring, supportive credentialed teacher. Every student is allocated a budget of planning amounts that can be spent on the student’s specific learning needs, under the approval of their teacher.
Instructional Planning Amounts
Planning amounts can be used to navigate an authentic and dynamic personalized learning pathway by paying for computers, high quality curriculum, tutoring, and enrichment activities. Planning amounts are paid directly to curriculum vendors and service providers.
Every student is unique, with different learning styles, strengths, and areas of growth.
