Innovative Personalized Learning

MCA believes that every student is unique — from their hairstyle to their favorite music to the way they learn.
What is
Personalized
Learning?
To close the opportunity gap, MCA is offering students more ownership, independence, and autonomy over their learning while strengthening their identity.
Personalized learning puts each student at the center of their own learning. Teachers are empowered to customize instruction to meet their students’ individual needs and interests. Students are empowered to become self-directed learners and develop the habits, mindsets and behaviors that lead to academic and personal success.
Our scholars continue to be held to high expectations, but as MCA grows to serve more of Milwaukee’s children, we believe we must transform HOW we teach.

What does Personalized Learning look like for students at MCA?
Personalized learning encompasses so many aspects of great teaching already, but by utilizing Summit’s Personalized Learning Platform, we can really focus on ensuring that every student not only gets what he/she needs, but is also pushed to grow and achieve their personal and academic goals during their time here at MCA.
