Although bringing a personalized learning environment to a small school is challenging in its own right, it is much easier than personalizing the environment of a large school. This article describes the interventions used in one suburban school with over 3,700 students to move the learning environment toward a more personalized climate. The multi-pronged strategies used are discussed, as are the results of a repeat-measure climate evaluation. During the researchers' years of involvement with the school, the climate was clearly moved toward personalization.
