Freeport School District 145Personalized Mastery

Traditional Model of Schooling

Everything revolves around the calendar

Time is the Constant

calendar

9 months – 174 days to learn

Semester classes

Spelling words given on MondaySpelling words given on Monday – on Friday, the test

One size fits all – expect all children to be able to learn at the same rate

3/20/2014

15

Traditional Model of Schooling

Learning is the Variable

A, B, C, D, F

The System gives students ‘permission’ to advance with only partial understanding

The System gives us ‘permission’ to advance to the next topic/unit knowing that some students do not fully understand.

Imagine a New Improved Educational Model

• Time becomes the VariableEach student is given theEach student is given the ‘right’ amount of time to learn

• They move at their own paceSome students need more timeSome students need less timeSome students need less time

Imagine a New Improved Educational Model

• Learning becomes the Constant

No more failures –Proficiency becomes the expectation

Pre-assessments –discover what the student knows and what they don’t know

Focus on what they don’t

Imagine a New Improved Educational Model

• Students become partners in their learningtheir learning

• They know what is expected (standards are transparent)

• They track their learning• They move at their own pace• They share the responsibility• They utilize appropriate
