General Directions: Choose and execute 1 of the 4 options for implementation. When uploading documents and artifacts, please include your option number in the file name. For example, if you choose to complete option 2 from the following choices, name your implementation documents "option 2" followed by the file name.

Option 1 - 
Learner Profile Data Use
This option is for those who have already  given the learner profile in the past. This includes the document provided in the first session or any of the options shared in the second session.
  1.  Using the information from your learner profile data, fill out the the Analyzing and Making Use of Learner Profile Data (Links to an external site.) The document guides you through the creation of a unit that includes choices for students.
  2. After looking though your learner profile data to find trends, create a unit of instruction that includes the following:
  • Addresses a standard and has learning targets that lead up to the mastery of that standard.
  • Has student choice and/or flexible pacing.
  • Makes use of a trend or piece of information that you learned from giving the learner profile.
Option 2 - Design a Unit that includes flexible pacing and student choice
During the first part of the last training, a method for building a unit that includes flexible pacing and student choice was presented. Use the steps and concepts outlined in order to create a unit.While you may use any digital method to display and help map out the learning activities, you may want to use the planning template (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. shared in the training to help you think through your unit design.
  1. Choose the standard around which you will build your unit.
  2. Decide what students need to be able to do in order to demonstrate mastery of that standard.
  3. Backward design the learning targets and activities to learn them.
  4. Add choice when possible. For each learning target, as yourself - “How is this best learned?” If there are multiple activities/means in which the students could access the content, provide them.
Option 3 - Design and Implement a Student Progress Tracking System

During the first part of training session 2, a method for building a unit that includes flexible pacing and student choice was presented. In session 3, several methods were demonstrated for creating a system to allow for students to see and track their own progress through a personalized learning unit. For this option complete the following steps.
  1. Select a standard and build a unit based on that standard similar to what was demonstrated at the beginning of session. If you already built a unit as a you option from the previous training you may use that unit. 
  2. Implement a system to allow students to track their progress through the unit. Make sure that include each learning target and have a clear method for showing any choices that you provide.
