My
goal, which is to explore how to best serve students with
disabilities and support them in their work with PLP's along with supporting the general education population, fits into
the concept of personalized learning because though I am at a
conference with a majority of general educators, I am going to need
to seek out expertise/knowledge/resources that pertain to my specific
need as a learning specialist. At the same time, I will also need
to keep in mind the “big picture” of personalized learning. I
will be learning how to apply larger ideas around self selection,
goal setting and “learning how to learn”, to my specific type of
teaching/student while still supporting students within the larger
sphere of their general education.
Within
this context, I am also trying to fathom other big ideas such as:
How
do IEP's and the processes (both legal and best practices) fit into a
PLP philosophy/system? How can I support students/teachers in this
system and maintain my sanity/good humor?
How
can we approach the evaluation and program development of students
with learning challenges so that it seamlessly includes goals that
might have typically been isolated in an IEP? Is this possible? Is
it even preferable? How about legal?
