Tracks: Future of EdTech Administrator

What is personalized learning? We’ve all heard the buzz about it, but what does it actually mean and what can it look like in your school or district? Hear from an ed tech veteran who has worked on various kinds of personalized learning models and recently caused a stir in EdWeek and beyond when he questioned the effectiveness of the current prevailing “engineering model.” Larry Berger, CEO of Amplify, will explain how the engineering model of personalization works (and its limitations) and dive into several other personalized learning models, many of which your teachers may already be implementing in low-tech ways. The question becomes: how can technology help support and scale the kinds of personalized instruction good teachers do every day in their classrooms? Join Larry for a provocative session that will transform the way you think about personalized learning!
