Personalized Learning from The Grant Wood AEA in Iowa
A Collaboration to Create Education for the Innovation Age
The goal of the Eastern Iowa Compact is to create an educational system that engages learners and meets the needs of children, families, businesses and our community.
To do this we must:
1) Build collaborative learning structures and opportunities.
2) Establish clear and rigorous learning targets.
3) Create personalized learning experiences that develop critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to solve difficult problems.
4) Create highly flexible, customized, and innovative approaches for student learning.

How we use technology and Personalized Learning in Our Classrooms
Mrs. Wilkinson
My classroom is moving toward being totally interactive, whether in lab, with others, or on computers, to help kids answer their questions and learn through many modes.
Mrs. Lemburg
I am focusing on integrating technology with Individualized Learning (Personalized Learning). I am currently working on making a cancer unit more individualized and standards-based.
Mr. Kirby
Students in my classroom have more choices to demonstrate their understanding and creativity with the use of technology.
Mr. Fritz
Students are being introduced to a concept that leads into an investigation requiring research, experimentation and analysis of data to arrive at conclusions or applications of the concept to real life scenarios.
Mr. Nordheim
Students have been able to use technology to examine data from outside sources and also design their own investigations and experiments.
