How to Use Generative AI for Personalized Learning Paths in K-12 Classrooms

The traditional classroom often struggles with the “middle” problem: lessons are too fast for some and too slow for others. Generative AI solves this by decoupling the curriculum from a single delivery method. In a personalized learning path, the learning objectives remain the same for everyone, but the materials, pace, and support are uniquely tailored to each student.

1. Differentiated Content Creation

Generative AI can instantly rewrite complex texts to match a student’s specific reading level.

The Strategy: A teacher can take a single article on the Water Cycle and use an AI tool like MagicSchool or Eduaide to generate three versions: one for advanced readers, one for students at grade level, and one for English Language Learners (ELL) with simplified vocabulary and visual descriptions.

In the traditional education system, teachers have often taken center stage, delivering lectures and disseminating information. However, there is a shift toward student-centered learning approaches that prioritize the needs and interests of learners.

After leaving college, I wasn’t sure what to do with my life. I was having trouble finding a job related to my degree.

That’s when I learned that it was a way for people to take courses that would prepare them for teaching English to people in different countries. I had never really thought about being a teacher, much less one that would teach English in foreign countries.…
