How we personalized it? What needed to be changed and why?
We went to Loreburn to experience their personalized math program first hand and loved it. On the return drive home to Eaton, we decided to make the commitment to personalize math for our students.
We made this decision because we noticed that students were not engaged and their attitudes towards math were negative; math was either “too difficult”, “too easy”, or they were just
going through the motions. We found that students had gaps in both their math knowledge
and skills and that the gaps were in a variety of places. In order to fill those gaps in a
meaningful way, as well as for students to continue their math journey by earning their
knowledge, we chose implement a personalized or blended learning approach.
