Personalized Learning In North Dakota

A Network Supporting Personalized Learning Across North Dakota

Who We Are

The North Dakota Personalized Learning Network (NDPLN) is a statewide community of educators, school leaders, and partners working to advance personalized learning across North Dakota. Through professional learning, shared tools, and real classroom examples, the network supports schools and districts as they design learning experiences that center student agency, mastery, and relevance. 

​

The North Dakota Hub for Innovative Education and Personalized Learning at Valley City State University serves as the long-term home for network. 

Who Should Join

NDPLN welcomes educators at every stage of their personalized learning journey, from those who are simply curious to those actively implementing new approaches. There is no single entry point. Educators can start by listening, observing, connecting, or trying something small and grow from there.

Meet our Team

The North Dakota Personalized Learning Network consists of representatives from schools and state agencies acting as co-leads, facilitators, and thought partners to imagine and design opportunities for learning, collaboration, and implementation of personalized systems.
