<h2>Personalised learning: Learning from a US Perspective</h2><blockquote>Drawing on her experience leading school change initiatives in the United States, Dr. Penny Bishop will explore the concept of personalised learning as a partnership between learners and teachers. Debunking the common myth that personalisation is isolating or overly reliant on technology, she will share research and examples that illustrate the potential of personalisation to engage learners, promote student agency, and advance self-direction. She will also offer lessons learned from the challenges related to enacting personalized learning in compulsory school classrooms, and explore the collaborative school cultures that help educators grow and evolve during these changing times.</blockquote>
