Personalizing education means going beyond structural changes and changing how educators see their students. It means knowing students' stories. The personal stories of students are powerful; educators must devise ways to gather and share those stories to benefit student learning. Principals and assistant principals can help ensure that there are a thousand ears for a thousand stories. They can encourage and train everyone to listen a little better, to listen for what ails and what thrills these students, and sometimes even what corrupts their experience. Moreover, educators need to begin changing what they value in their work with students and perhaps reconsider what they see as their work. Their work can no longer simply be delivering instruction, it must also include embracing their students and letting them know that they are valued for who they are and where they are going.
