Personalized Learning Supports & Processes
At Cambrian School District, we believe that every child learns differently—and that’s something to celebrate. To make sure every student gets what they need to thrive, our teachers use differentiated instruction, which simply means tailoring lessons and support to match each student’s learning style, strengths, and needs.
Think of it as a flexible approach to teaching: all students may be learning the same concept, but the way it’s taught might vary. Some might explore it through hands-on projects, others through videos, group discussions, or games. Students might also work in small groups based on their learning needs or readiness, so they get just the right level of challenge—whether they need extra support or are ready to move ahead.
Here’s how this approach helps your child:
-
Teachers consider how students learn best—whether they need more movement, more time, or more visuals.
-
Lessons include a variety of activities to keep learning fun and meaningful for all students.
-
Regular check-ins help teachers know who’s understanding the material and who might need something different.
-
Instruction is adjusted along the way to meet students where they are and help them grow.
When needed, our schools also implement specific support processes under the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). These include the Student Study Team (SST) process, Retention and Acceleration Guidelines, Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) services, and support for Students with Disabilities (SWD). These tools help us go even deeper in differentiating teaching and learning, ensuring every student—regardless of their needs—receives the right level of guidance, challenge, and care.
Our goal is to help every child reach their full potential, and differentiated instruction—supported by these systems—is one of the many ways we make that possible.
