iNACOL Leadership Webinar: Mean What You Say - Defining and Integrating Personalized, Blended and Competency Education

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 from 3:00p – 4:00p ET, iNACOL will present a Leadership Webinar titled "Mean What You Say: Defining and Integrating Personalized, Blended and Competency Education".

At the core of the transformation of education toward student-centered learning is the ability to personalize learning for each student, to open student pathways and encourage student voice and choice in next generation education models. To aid classroom, school and state leaders in their pursuit of this goal, this Leadership Webinar will explain the nuances of key terms used across the field of K-12 education related to personalized, blended and competency education, and how these ideas integrate in order to create new learning models.

"Often, people will employ several commonly used terms interchangeably as stand-ins for personalized learning. This webinar aims to define these terms and show how they fit together," said Susan Patrick, President and CEO of iNACOL. "Personalized learning tailors learning for each student's strengths, needs and interests, and in doing this, new school models can unleash the potential of each and every student in ways never before possible."

In advance of the webinar, participants are encouraged to read iNACOL's publication of Mean What You Say: Defining and Integrating Personalized, Blended and Competency Education. The paper is available for download at http://bit.ly/meanwhatyousay.

The webinar presentation and discussion will be moderated by Susan Patrick, President and CEO of iNACOL.
