PLAYLISTSchool, grade, teacher: High Tech High, 8th grade, Bryan HarmsApproach: Student-drivenSelf-pacing: all students work through these goals in this exact order, but students could go at their own pace within the first semester.Other details: At all times he had about 50% of his students working on KA while he worked with the other 50%. He used data daily to figure out which students to focus on and in which topics
