It’s one thing to talk about personalizing learning for all students. To actually make it happen is a completely different conversation.
When I was a middle school principal, I attended a meeting with a neighboring Superintendent who said his goal was “for every student to have an individualized education plan”. In his words, “the learning path that a student takes should be unique and tailored to not only what they need (based on evidence), but what the student wishes to get out of their school experience.”
While it has been fifteen years since I heard this Superintendent speak, the need for a personalized learning plan for every student may be more important now than ever before. With that in mind, I am so excited to introduce Otus Plans.
What is Otus Plans?
A new feature in Otus that allows teachers to align any district-created plan to any student so administrators, teachers, students, and families can proactively track student progress through these plans at any time.
