description: "How do you know personalized learning works:
Best research: Rand/Gates. 2 studies.
Evidence shows PL boosts student learning.
PL closes gaps.
Outcomes are better the longer a school does it.
LOTS of variation between schools in terms of outcomes
What makes the difference between good PL and bad PL? The right definition, the right process, and the right investment of resources
PL is about combining great educational practice in a systematic way that will support students.
As such, Hattie’s research
Hattie and high quality PL have lots of overlap: teacher efficacy, student engagement, rigorous transfer-driven learning tasks, and a deep focus on student self-determination, sense of belonging, and reflection. 
Hattie’s work doesn’t speak to PL, but it does affirm high-quality personalized learning, the kind of practices we work with teachers and districts to implement.
Not all PL is created equal."
