Early Progress: Interim Research on Personalized Learning — Report
As part of our commitment to ensuring that students leave high school ready to succeed in college and careers, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has partnered with a number of leading schools, educators, and other funders in the emerging field of personalized learning.
