Time + Talent + Technology = Success for Delaware Students
By Margie Lopez-Waite
Vision Coalition Leadership Team Member
Personalized and competency-based learning empowers educators to tailor instruction for each student—recognizing strengths, interests, needs, and pace, and structuring each student’s experience accordingly.

And, we at Las Americas ASPIRA Academy are excited to be implementing innovative efforts to personalize learning – and we are seeing the results: increased student engagement and excitement about learning, students empowered to move at their own pace, and greater results.

Our educators use a number of programs such as Schoology and a mastery based reporting system to facilitate personalized and competency-based learning as well as to track our students’ literacy growth. We leverage technology to assess and monitor students’ progress and areas for improvement—and to enable learning through a variety of blended learning models including station rotations, playlists, and flipped classrooms.
