I'm especially intrigued by the concept that the ceiling on achievement is lifted, students have constant visual cues, and that there are multiple people (the "community") invested in every learner. A flexible achievement environment implies by default a flexible instructional environment, and I think that would open up the door to far more self-determination on the part of instructors as to what needs to be taught, how and when. We (i.e. the educational community both locally and nationally)have done ourselves a disservice by creating and institutionalizing such a rigid format for the art and science of teaching and learning.Laura Wharffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291045379777989014noreply@blogger.com
