Personalized learning is an educational approach adopted by a teacher in a classroom that caters to the unique learning need and styles of each student. Understanding each students’ strengths, needs, skills, and interests is a prerequisite to having such an educational approach. Personalized learning lies in the principle of creating a challenging experience that supports individual learning and development. The significance of personalized learning lies in the fact that teachers can’t expect all students in their classroom to learn in the exact same way or at the exact same pace. Creating a bespoke learning experience and tailoring that to students’ needs means each individual gets the right kind of education based on how they learn and what interests them. Personalized learning accelerates a student’s innate potential to its fullest. It can involve experimental learning, teacher-led instruction, group work, flexible hours, and online learning.
