2. Develop Community<\/h2>\n

Strong, positive relationships are the lifeblood of personalized learning experiences. Having strong connections between students, teachers, school leaders and the community creates a sense of engagement and belonging. When learners and educators feel engaged, they are more successful.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

Create a rhythm of conferencing<\/strong> with learners to check in, with frequent and open communication.<\/p>\n

Encourage frequent and multiple interactions<\/strong> with peers, teachers, leadership and community members.<\/p>\n

Build teams of teachers<\/strong> who work together on cross-disciplinary projects and make decisions together.<\/p>\n

\n

Story from the Field<\/strong>
\nSteelcase Education researchers observed a site familiar in many schools that actively implement personalized learning experiences: a genuine emotional connection between students and teachers and their principal. Instead of functioning as a remote authority figure, the principal was engaged and interested in the school community. The principal crouched down to look at students eye-to-eye as they shared their feelings or answered a quick question about their classroom progress; teachers were stopped for a quick check in to evaluate classroom activity or determine whether the teacher needed additional support. A a result, we saw students proactively flock to and high-five the principal like a local celebrity. These frequent, friendly interactions underscored the shared understanding that relationships are essential to personalized learning experiences — and important contributors to creating a strong sense of community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Use Explicit Signage<\/strong>
\nClearly stating school or classroom priorities, such as goals or valued character traits, reminds everyone of their sense of responsibility and accountability to others.<\/p>\n

Create Supportive Spaces<\/strong>
\nPhysical spaces should encourage teachers and students to connect one-on-one and develop productive relationships.<\/p>\n

Model Behavior<\/strong>
\nEngaging in and modeling ideal behavior is critical for students, teachers and school leaders.<\/p>\n
