Learners utilize a variety of data, methods, people, time, structures, environments, and tools to best meet their specific needs. Personalized learning facilitates the development of student agency enabling all to get what they need, when they need it, and how they need it without barriers. Strategies used at Chipeta include blended learning, project-based learning, station rotation, and choice embedded throughout the school day.
