Personalized Learning at Loudoun

Instructional Models

• Choose your Instructional Models from the Menu for your School Team.

  • Instructions: Schools pick from a menu and any teacher may choose models from menu to start with for first 6-8 weeks of implementation.

  • Next Steps: School PL Team to lead your teachers in a model selection workshop. Teachers provide the rationale for their model selection. Consider how you will keep track of who is implementing what model and for how long. Consider using a Google Form to gather feedback from teachers.

• ​Revisit your school’s Instructional Model from the Design Workshop and update by August 22. See here: School PL Teams.
