Standards Based Learning
On the 5th, one of my educational collaborators, Frank Franz, is coming to my school to discuss standards based learning. In my county, we are slowly moving there and I want my department to start implementing parts of it, if not all of it so we aren't blindsided in 1.5 years when we have to do it.
First off I have never been told adequately what is meant by "mastery," but the video above helps. After all standard based learning says we should be working towards mastery, so best to start with a definition.
Frank's video below is excellent for explaining how his classes are run and while we're at it, he uses it for his flipped back to school night. It is definitely worth five minutes to look at it.
Finally, here is Frank's dog (literally as he loves his three dogs) and pony show!
