practices regarding student interventions that include data meetings to identify and close student learning gaps. \u00a0A tool like the LPS can help us identify research-based strategies to address gaps in student learning across multiple domains.\u00a0\u00a0It also can provide insights regarding the connections and relationships between gaps in one domain and how it affects another. \u00a0As a district, we are also\u00a0taking a deeper dive\u00a0into social-emotional learning and how to best design learning experiences for students from that lens. \u00a0This research can help us make the connections between effective personalized learning strategies and designing with social-emotional needs as a key component of learner engagement<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c1

variability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c5 c10\"><span class=\"c0\">This research, once translated into practice, can help educators determine which personalized learning strategies to use for which students, and in which context. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c5 c10\"><span class=\"c0\">Technologies (such as the LPS) can help provide the structures and supports for educators to design and
