Individualized curriculum
An individualized curriculum is any curriculum tailored to meet the needs of a particular learner. In other words, the Curriculum can be defined as an educational program uniquely tailored for one's individualized learning.
- Differentiation. According to differentiation expert Dr. Carol Tomlinson, differentiation is not a teaching strategy, but rather a way of thinking about learning. In terms of application it is the specific design of “content, process, or product” according to a student’s readiness, interest, or learning profile. Tomlinson explains that “differentiation does not presume different tasks for each learner, but rather just enough flexibility in task complexity, working arrangements, and modes of learning expression that varied students find learning a good fit much of the time.” In short, differentiation is the process of personalizing universal learning goals for groups of students. As such, it is closely related to (but different than) personalized learning and individualized learning.
