They have used this understanding to personalize learning as much as is possible in classrooms with 20, 25, or more students. However, these educators have largely been on their own, without many structured supports—curriculum, pedagogy, tools, and resources specifically designed to support personalization strategies. The growing diversity within today’s classrooms underscores the necessity for amore deliberate, supported shift to a learner-centered education system.  \nPersonalized learning—learning that is connected to each individual’s development, background, interests, and experiences—provides an approach that broadly and equitably supports educators’ efforts to empower learners as individuals.  \nPersonalized learning offers a path to effectively support the  \ngrowing diversity of the population of students by understanding how individual learners learn best and actively engage, motivate, and inspire them with the right resources at the right time, in the right medium, and at the right pace.  \nTechnological innovations over the past decade now make meaningful personalization possible, but we can only personalize based on what we know about the learner. Current models that drive personalization remain overly simplistic and are rarely based on research. These over-simplified models risk driving personalization in a way that leaves diverse learners behind.  \nWithout changes, the social and economic disparities and achievement gaps of people who historically are underserved will persist and grow, and we will be at risk of marginalizing more and more students. 􀁊  \nWithout changes, the social and economic disparities and achievement gaps of people who historically are underserved will persist and grow, and we will be at risk of marginalizing more and more students.  \nThe Growing Diversity in Today’s Classroom | 2  \nThe Need for Personalization Is Growing  \nThe makeup of the U. S. K-12 public school student population has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Students today are more diverse across many categories, including linguistics, culture, geography, and socioeconomics.  \nThis has partially been driven by significant shifts in population and society. For example, over the last several decades, the proportion of students living in deep poverty has grown from 14.3 percent to 21.1 percent, totaling over 10 million students today (U.S. Census Data, 1973, 2014) .  \nTo illustrate what this means at the classroom level, an  \n25.00%  \n20.00%  \n15.00%  \n10.00%  \n5.00%  \n0.00%  \nGrowing Diversity of US Student Population  \nLow Socio-Economic Status (SES)  \nEnglish Language Learners  \nDiagnosed  \nDisabilities  \n 1970s  2014  \neducator in the 1970s or 1980s with a classroom of 24 students might have had five or six students (20 to 34 percent) requiring specialized interventions. In a classroom of 24 students today, between 10 and 12 students (40 to 50 percent) are living in poverty, have a disability or learning difference, are English language learners, are gifted or talented, are experiencing challenges at home or in their communities that result in trauma, or some combination of the above—each of whom research shows needs personalized approaches to learning.  \nEven the most capable educator cannot meet this demand for personalization without appropriate support. In response, the system must shift to a fundamentally different model that supports a personalized learning approach that addresses the growing  \ndiversity. (For more detail, see Appendix)  \nDig a little deeper into the numbers, as Diplomas Now did in their 2016 Assessing Early Warning Indicators study, and the challenge becomes clear.
