Epiphany Learning: a Personalized Learning Platform that is centered around the Learner Profile
Create
Personalized Learning Plans in Four Easy Steps:
Learner Profile: Switch from a Fixed to Growth Mindset.
The Learner Profile represents who the learner is. It is an active representation of who they are, who they were and who they might become. The Learner Profile is created, owned and maintained by the learner, giving them a voice in their education. By creating a richer understanding of self, it helps learners evolve from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset while supporting MESH (mindset, essential skills and habits).
The Learner Profile includes:
Learning Styles
Do it, See it, Hear it. The Learning Inventory enlightens learners about how they process information and how that may differ from others.
Strengths and Struggles
Everyone has them. Being aware of them helps motivate learners to improve and creates greater transparency between teachers, learners and guardians.
Hobbies and Interests
Understanding what is meaningful and important to each learner allows teacher to link the learner’s interests to what they are teaching.
Skills and Dispositions
Life and leadership skills are quantifiably measured to encourage and support learning processes, attitudes and strategies - all while giving voice to the learner. Teachers, peers and learners can assess these skills to recognize talents in each learner.
SMART Goals
Provide learners with a framework to create and track progress towards personal, academic, behavioral and social goals.
Preferences
Identifies the learner’s preferred study environments, study habits, motivators and methods to overcome obstacles.
Reflections
Captures meaningful and real-time reflections from the learner, providing richer insight to their growth over time.
Learning Path: Puts the Learner in the Driver's Seat.
The Learning Path is how the learner navigates their learning. Designed intentionally to allow for choice, it offers as much or as little independence as the learner needs. The Learning Path creates a continuum of learning and can link to standards and outcomes, making learning more purposeful. The Learning Path allows teachers to engage, inspire and motivate learners to own their Learning Paths while creating and showcasing evidence of learning through the Digital Portfolio.
The Learning Path includes:
Student-Created Learning Experiences
Allows learners to build their own learning experiences for teacher approval.
Project Planning
Uses goals, actions and milestones to organize and manage student-led projects.
Customized Standards
Links to your own district-wide, Common Core©, or outcome-based standards to ensure evidence of learning.
Easily Grade Standards
Allows teachers to check, maintain and assess evidence for each standard.

Learning Continuum:
Provides a Big-Picture Look
at Proficiency Levels.
The Learning Continuum transforms the numerous requirements and learning targets of modern education into a viewer-friendly, color-coded system that tells a clear story about student progress and mastery. Using the Learning Continuum, students and their parents can get a holistic overview of their entire education in one convenient place.
Learning Continuum includes:
Real-Time Snapshot of
Student Progress
Students, their parents and other stakeholders can use the Learning Continuum’s color-coded system to get a strong sense of overall academic performance and skill development in just a few seconds.
Support for Any Curriculum
Any set of local, state or alternative standards can be uploaded into the Learning Continuum, including concrete skill targets to support proficiency education and pre-professional learning.
Historical Growth Narrative
As students move through their academic journey, the Learning Continuum creates a time-stamped narrative of progress toward each standard that students, counselors and teachers can revisit to reflect upon improvement over time.
Filtered Search Tool
Students can search standards and learning targets within the Learning Continuum by type, grade level or subject area to assess proficiency in a targeted, specific manner.
Interdisciplinary Learning Experiences
Learners can combine subjects and standards to be completed in a single learning experience.
Career Plan:
a Framework for College
& Career Readiness
The Career Plan is built into the Mature, Intermediate, and even Primary views of the Epiphany Learning LRM, encouraging students to envision a future for themselves and make it real from an early age. As they move through their education, learners can connect learning experiences to career goals, discover which Skills and Dispositions they’ll need to foster, and gather resources to aid them in their journey.
The Career Plan includes:
Occupation Finder
A searchable database of over 325 different jobs and careers that allows students to discover and learn about professional opportunities.
Customized Career Matches
Using a student's Skills & Dispositions, the Career Plan can suggest careers the student may be well suited for.
Career Goals
A framework for creating and tracking progress toward pre-professional goals using SMART methodology.
Shared Notes
A communication network for teachers, administrators, and peers to support learners on their professional journey, recommend valuable experiences, and comment on skill development.
Dynamic Schedule:
Creates a Learner-Directed
Environment.
The Dynamic Schedule is how the learner plans their lessons. It allows learners the choice to select their own classes, manage their time and develop their own schedule. Teachers manage the parameters to ensure learning requirements are being met, while appearing to the learner that there is more flexibility in their schedule.
The Dynamic Schedule includes:
Event Creation
Allows for one or many teachers to post optional and required events to the learner's schedule.
Time Management
Allows learners to manage their own flextime related to goals, standards and/or teacher-created and student-created assignments.
Schedule Flexibility
Allows learners to choose posted events while enabling the needed backend controls to ensure they meet all educational requirements.
Evidence of Learning
Links events to any standard or outcome, allowing for the creation of powerful reports to show evidence of learning.
