Personalized Learning in the Middle Grades shows how teachers in
grades 5-8 can leverage the use of personalized learning plans
(PLPs) to increase student agency and engagement, helping youth to
establish learning goals aligned with their interests and assess
their own learning-particularly around essential skills that cut
across disciplines. Drawing on their research and work with fifty
schools in Vermont, where PLPs are used statewide, the authors show
how personalized learning aligns with effective middle grades
practice and provide in-depth examples of how educators have
implemented PLPs in a wide range of schools representing different
demographics and grade configurations. They also highlight five
critical roles for teachers in personalized learning
environments-as empowerer, scaffolder, scout, assessor, and
community builder-and illustrate how teachers can adapt the PLP
process for their own unique contexts. Grounded in experience and
full of engaging examples, artifacts, and tools, the book builds on
the emerging field of personalized learning and connects it with
the developmental needs of middle schoolers to provide a unique and
valuable resource for individual classroom teachers, teacher teams,
school leaders, teacher-educators, and others.
