Excerpt from: “Four Attributes to Grow a Personalized Learning Culture”
What we value in a culture is reflected in its language, feelings, behaviors, and actions. We often live by the metaphors that we use. So, for example, when we use metaphors such as “in the trenches” we are signaling a combative culture. Whereas, if we use such metaphors as “inventing” or “innovating”, we are bringing forward not just thoughts of survival but also thoughts of our capacity to creatively face our challenges.

In a personalized learning culture, each member is seen as a respected and valued participant; they are the stewards of their own learning.

VOICE

Empowerment comes from an environment in which students recognize the power of their own ideas and recognize the shift that can happen by being exposed to others’ ideas. Regular participation and engagement in co-creating performances and actions constitutes an opportunity for students to flex their innovative and creative muscles. The atmosphere is one of discourse in which multiple perspectives are encouraged. The community learns and appreciates the complexity of adhering to the values and mission of the school as an organization.

CO-CREATION

Co-creation is an invitational act — one that signifies respect and trust in others at the design table. They are the actors not merely the recipients of innovation, adaptations and change. This suggests a collaborative relationship among learners when they sit down at the design table to imagine, strategize, and draft new ideas and actions.

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION

Learners build ideas through relationships with others as they theorize, investigate, and develop in pursuit of a common goal. There is real power in feeling that you are not alone, a sense of camaraderie when you are working to cause a change, create a performance, or build a prototype. The synergy of individual bits of knowledge, ideas and actions that produce a bigger impact that is so much larger than that of one individual is magical.

SELF DISCOERY

Learners need to know enough about themselves to be able to make wise decisions as they navigate through the turbulence of a rapidly changing environment. This comes about as learners uncover how they navigate through the challenges they’ve set for themselves: how they start making sense of a problem or how they generate an idea, how they handle the frustration of not getting it quite right for the umpteenth time, and how they work through revisions or dead ends by analyzing what happened. They develop the capacity to articulate areas of strength and concern and view this as a proactive opportunity to grow

Cultural intelligence – thrive in crossing boundaries of different cultures and love doing it.
