Instruction in the Lincoln Public Schools shall be tailored to individual needs as much as possible. Instruction is considered individualized a) when students progress through District curricula at learning rates commensurate with their ability levels and b) when instruction is specifically designed to be different for different students based on their individual characteristics.

 

Individualized instruction does not necessarily require that students learn by themselves. Most instruction will be in group settings, with students grouped and regrouped, as needed, to permit them to progress at learning rates commensurate with their ability levels and classroom performance.
