Personalized Learning Update
LGHS and Cohort 16
Final Presentation - Tuesday, December 1st
The LGHS Design Team members completed their final presentation Tuesday, December 1st. We were prepared, we performed well, and we are looking forward to a positive outcome. We should learn the results prior to the Winter Break.
We thank you for entrusting us to share the LGHS vision for Personalized Learning. Please know that we are working diligently to maintain the trust that you have placed in us.
Pilot Team News
The Pilot Team is working to create an Advisory time during IF. Dr. Gillies, Ms. Nanry, Ms. Teague, and Ms. Wilkins will work with the students on setting academic goals and will also help the students create portfolios for their student-led conferences in February. Dean Burch is assisting with the planning and organization. The Design Team thanks these brave educators for standing courageously at the forefront of the Personalized Learning work at LGHS.
Personalized Learning Shout Out
Danna Seigle
Project Based Learning is about authenticity and not dessert or dumpster projects. The project is the authentic learning component for the student and not the project at the end that you would throw away after it was graded.

In Project Based Learning, it's okay to still have direct instruction, quizzes, and checkpoints along the way. You don't want to throw out Best Teaching Practices.

Google Classroom is giving me the time for conferencing that I need to work one-on-one with my students; it allows me to know that my students are still working productively while I focus my attention elsewhere.
Professional Development When You Are Ready
When it comes to Personalized Learning, these five tenets are not the only components; however, they are the five that Henry County is focusing on to increase our student success. Our goal in introducing this information early is to assist you in preparing for the coming year. We will continue to have whole staff professional development but would like to offer those that are interested the opportunity to learn during your planning on Mondays. Check out what's available!
