No two people learn in exactly the same manner. So why do so many schools provide students with a “one-size-fits-all” model of education, in which class time, subject matter, and instruction are standardized for large groups of students? To change this model, The Fund supports the
iZone, a community of 100+ schools that is piloting innovative practices in teaching and learning, such as self-paced online coursework, virtual tutoring, and individualized schedules tailored to each student’s daily progress. These models are helping schools shift to a more personalized approach that identifies and caters to the needs, strengths, and motivations of each child.
