The Broad Foundation supports The New York City Department of Education’s “School of One” in its mission to break with K–12 education’s traditional teacher-student model by creating a dynamic, individualized learning environment for every student. Each student has a unique, personalized schedule comprised of a tailored mix of group sessions, lectures with live teachers, computer-assisted self-paced learning, and work with virtual tutors, all of which has been mapped out based on a combination of the student’s learning preferences and previous performance.
