A Policy Playbook for Personalized Learning: Ideas for State and Local Policymakers
Chuong, Carolyn; Mead, Sara
Bellwether Education Partners
This report is designed to help state and local policymakers identify the policy changes needed to expand access to quality personalized learning in their states and communities, and to give them the tools to make those changes. Each of the 15 policy ideas, or "plays," in this playbook provides background context on the challenges it is designed to address and the benefits it will produce; examples of places where similar policies have been implemented; and a discussion of the policy or implementation considerations that must be taken into account. Because of the wide variation in each state's policy context, these plays offer "broad ideas, rather than detailed language," which policymakers can take as a starting point to customize the plays to their own state or district and its unique circumstances.
