7.3: Personalized Learning
Encourage adoption of personalized learning approaches. Other Information:
Several policy changes are required in order to encourage the adoption of personalized learning approaches. Many secondary
schools use the "Carnegie Unit" and colleges use the "Student Hour" to monitor student progress. Early in the 20th century,
educators adopted these "time-based" approaches that mandated students must have at least 120 hours of classroom time over
the course of a year to master particular subjects. In addition, four years was specified as the appropriate length of high
school and bachelor's degrees in college. Most American schools continue to employ this framework to structure the curriculum
and daily classroom schedule.
