Individualized Instruction

Individualized instruction, also known as personalized learning or differentiated instruction, refers to an educational approach that tailors the learning experience to meet the unique needs, preferences, and abilities of each student.

In individualized instruction, educators assess students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles to design personalized learning plans. These plans may include customized learning materials, pacing, and teaching strategies that cater to individual students' learning requirements.

Technology often plays a significant role in individualized instruction, as it allows for adaptive learning platforms, personalized assessments, and data-driven insights into student progress.

The goal of individualized instruction is to maximize each student's learning potential, foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter, and enhance overall engagement and motivation.
