The Learning Accelerator (TLA) seeks to address the question of "can you implement [Next Generation Learning]?", first identified by program staff in the 2011 Next Generation Learning papers. TLA engages in this question by specifically focusing on barriers to implementation of personalized learning across the United States. They are an ecosystem coordinator, which means that they help coordinate different elements and sectors of the system needed to fully implement blended learning in school. This means they engage in areas like internet connectivity, procuring devices for students, software, support for teachers, development of open education resources for schools to access, professional services, and finance models required for districts to implement at scale. They work to identify steps in implementing personalized learning that are difficult for schools and districts across the country, and partner with or help seed organizations to move the field as a whole to address those challenges. |
