Personalized Learning

ASU Prep’s K-12 curriculum offers personalized learning to prepare each student for college, career, and life. Personalized learning allows students to learn or re-learn learning standards they may have missed.

Providing various student-centered learning environments assists students to enhance executive functioning skills and learn how to collaborate in small groups, as well as in large groups.

ASU Prep fosters educational environments that ensure equity and inclusion of learning for all students!

Individual Learning Plans

At ASU Prep we believe in the value of planning positive outcomes. To plan for these positive outcomes each student will create an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) that will guide their learning for each school year and assist him/her in taking charge of their learning path – creating student agency. The overall goal of an ILP is to establish and maintain relationships with students and families to facilitate a conversation about individual student’s academic and social progress, review areas of strength and opportunities for growth, outline goals, develop a shared plan of implementation and action steps for each student. As an integral part of the K-12 curriculum, the ILPs encourage students to identify their interests, learning styles, academic goals, and the habits they need to accomplish their goals. Students, parents/guardians, teachers, and academic counselors will each support, review, and reflect on the ILPs on a regular basis.

ILP sections include:

  • What makes me special? (Identity)
  • What do I like to do? (Interests)
  • What do I want to learn at school? (Academic Goal Setting)
  • How will I do my best every day? (Habits of Success

Personalized Courses

Teachers utilize rubrics to help foster student agency and expectations of excellence in work submitted. All K-12 ASU Prep classes will provide a choice for students to learn and apply knowledge at levels equal to honors/college prep courses. Weighted grades will be designated to assignments within each course for students to choose the rigors of college-level assignments that support Arizona standards.

Every student has an opportunity to earn a weighted grade.

Honors level and college-prep curriculum are built into each course that are offered in each school for all students to access.

  1. Universal Learning®️ Courses: These select courses provide students the opportunity to take college level courses and choose at the end of their course if they would like ASU Academic credit.
  2. Concurrent Courses: These courses provide students the opportunity to take any ASU course offered in the course catalog, with the final grade automatically reflecting as ASU Academic credit.
