The Power to Learn: The Benefits and the Promise of Personalized Instruction advances the notion that personalized instruction is the direction that schools must take if all students are expected to succeed with difficult learning challenges. Based on the premise that all students are capable, this book offers practical information so that schools can be designed or redesigned to meet individual students where they are academically and to challenge them toward deeper learning. Unlocking their capability is best accomplished by implementing a process labeled DPIE: diagnosis, prescription, implementation, and evaluation. Examples dating back to the early 20th century are described that show the idea is derived from historical antecedents and twenty-two research-based strategies and tactics are offered. Also included are five exemplary schools from preschool to high school.

Dr. John M. Jenkins served as principal for over three decades. He was also the director of the P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School (1-12) at the University of Florida. He has authored or co-authored eight published books in education, as well as monographs and articles. He was a member of the NASSP-Carnegie Commission on the high school for the 21st century.

James W. Keefe is a former high school principal and university professor and the retired director of research for the National Association of Secondary School Principals. He is president emeritus of the Learning Environments Consortium (LEC), a nonprofit forum of educators committed to personalizing learning and instruction.
