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

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
