PERSONALIZED LEARNING

Personalized Learning at Milpitas High (Summit Learning) - *Currently accepting students*

Please sign up on  interest form to learn more & read the introduction letter from MHS principal, Francis Rojas & Director of Technology, Chin Song.
​
Although the school year isn’t over, we are already looking ahead to next year. At Milpitas High School we are committed to personalized learning. To achieve this vision, we have been exploring additional instructional approaches to foster students’ achievement and growth.  One effective approach that we use to personalize learning is through Summit Learning.  Please read the Science of Summit to learn more.
​
When students learn through projects, they have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to real-world situations and develop the skills they need for success in life, college, and career.   Teachers at Milpitas High have embraced project-based learning such as the climate change project in biology. We hope the training will allow us to integrate this approach more thoroughly into our curriculum.
What is blended/personalized learning?
Blended/personalized  learning is "a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace and at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home."  (CCIDI)

Milpitas Unified is taking bold steps to create a student-centric personalized education system that fosters lifelong learning.  Through weaving digital learning in the learning process, students and teachers will have access to better data that improves learning and teaching.

Simply, blended learning is a process and a tool that great teachers in great schools use to get even better academic results through near real-time data on our students' learning progress.
How does it help my student?
Data just by itself has limitations.  However, there's a data bottleneck in traditional classrooms as teacher have access to more data than ever about their student's knowledge if their assessment systems are dialed in.  But once teachers know in detail where the gaps are in student's learning, it is still a challenge to provide a just-in-time intervention to help them overcome the gaps.

Blended/personalized learning will help to address this bottleneck in a scalable approach.  Further, your students will learn how to leverage the expertise of our teachers to help create context from the content.
What about the teachers?
Our teachers will be the first ones to share that they don't know everything.  Today, content (information/data) is readily available online and our teachers use their expertise in putting content into context (meaning) to deepen our students' learning.   Our teachers act as the "guide on the side" (rather than the "sage on the stage") and as a coach to help our students make positive steps in their learning journey. 
Where is the evidence?
One distinct advantage of blended/personalized learning is that our schools with blended/personalized learning has seen their discipline issues all but disappear. Student engagement is up and student attitude towards learning has improved.  Quantitative data will follow as we complete our studies.
