About Us
Resources
In Loudoun County Public Schools, our purpose is for all students to make meaningful contributions to the world. The way we do that is through designing authentic, challenging learning experiences for Deeper Learning.
We have many instructional and assessment approaches to get us to authentic and deeper learning, including the Profile of a Graduate and 5Cs, Project-Based Learning (PBL), Performance Assessments (PA), and Personalized Learning (PL).
We provide equitable learning opportunities and supports that lead to deeper learning for all students.
What is PL? Personalized Learning is dynamically tailoring learning experiences to students’ strengths, needs and/or interests. Why PL? Personalized Learning provides multiple pathways for students to access and show mastery of academic content, and prepares them to become critical thinkers, communicators, collaborators, creators, and contributors. How does personalized learning come to life in schools? Personalized Learning is one of the LCPS Building Blocks for Deeper Learning. There is not a one size fits all model for Personalized Learning. Schools have identified structures and areas of focus based on the needs of the students and teachers. Personalized Learning, PBL and PBA lead to deeper learning by enhancing student agency, providing students opportunities to reflect on their learning, and engaging them in solving authentic, challenging problems.
