Performed by Kevin Hogan, School News, Editor-in-Chief
Personalized learning is much more important than ever to help students recover lost learning and socio-emotional growth, as well as teachers in need of solutions. While Adtech’s advances over the past decade have helped make personalized learning strategies more efficient, scalable, and achievable for educators, many strategies have been forced to take a back seat to more stressful challenges during the epidemic.
Join this panel of school news and experts to see what personalized learning looks like now and what’s going to happen, share best practices, and learn why evaluation and accountability are more important than ever in today’s K-12 landscape.
We hear from industry experts:
