Based on a two-year study of personalized learning in 39 schools across the country and a deep look at schools in Colorado and Connecticut, a <\/span>new paper<\/span><\/a> from CRPE offers a first view of how academically disadvantaged students experience these 21st century learning environments and what factors are likely to produce better opportunities for their success with these approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n
