In this powerful new book, James Rickabaugh, former superintendent and current director of the Institute for Personalized Learning (IPL), presents the groundbreaking results of the Institute's half-decade of research, development, and practice: a simple but powerful model for personalizing students learning experiences by building their levels of commitment, ownership, and independence. This book offers a blueprint that dramatically improves student outcomes and prepares today's learners to meet life's challenges in college and beyond.
