Personalized learning can occur in a variety of forms. It can be done on a computer online. It can be done in a brick and mortar classroom environment. It can also be accomplished by a combination of these two, such as when the student is in the general or special education classroom for part of the school day and is online for the other half of the day. Regardless of which mode is chosen, the collective theme running through each of these modalities is that the learning is geared toward the student's individual interests. It is customized to the learner just like an individualized education plan for students with an exceptionality.

This article explores the perceptions of teachers in rural settings concerning the teaching of hyperactive students. Regular and special educators (N=101) identified minimizing distractions, providing clear expectations and rules, and the use of time-out techniques as the most successful strategies for teaching such students. Although both regular and special education teachers believe that the skills of teaching and managing hyperactive students are important, regular teachers were critical of the emphasis given these skills during their training. The teachers rated the advice they received from peers as the most useful, while advice from school psychologists, principals, parents, and school counselors were rated as least helpful. The results suggest the potential value of peer problem-solving committees, peer consultant models, and more effective preservice and inservice preparation in the area of hyperactivity.
