Join a cohort of educators for a transformative series of 4 professional development sessions to learn how to adopt a personalized learning mindset with the Ohio Personalized Learning Network (OPLN) Framework. This year’s series, led by Personalized Learning & EdTech Specialist, Jake Miller, represents a new evolution of the OPLN LAUNCH Cohorts, refined through direct feedback, insights, and experiences from previous iterations.
*Note: This Cohort is not affiliated with KnowledgeWorks or the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce.
This cohort consists of 4 full-day sessions, with plans for an additional 4 full days in the 2025-26 school year. The program is designed to "practice what we preach"—you’ll experience personalized learning first-hand as a participant. From completing learner profiles and self-assessments to guide your journey, to engaging in flexible learning tailored to your needs, this series will empower you to implement these strategies in your classroom.
What to expect:
- Personalized Learning in Action: Attendees will actively engage in personalized learning strategies, with options to dive deeper into specific content areas.
- Breakout Sessions by Grade Band: Hear from exemplary educators at your grade band level from LAUNCH 1 and 2 cohorts who are applying these principles in their classrooms.
- Real-World Examples: Explore more case studies and examples from previous cohorts to see personalized learning in action.
- The Personalized Learning Framework: Across the two years of this cohort, strategies for implementing all components of Ohio's Personalized Learning Framework will be covered.
Teams from Tallmadge, Riverside, Field, Chagrin Falls, and Canton Choices High School have already committed to participation, with more registrations anticipated. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with peers and apply cutting-edge personalized learning strategies in your school.
