A common best practice for teachers is to "reverse-engineer" their lesson plans and units. They start at the end: they first ask themselves what knowledge and skills they want their students to be able to demonstrate, then "back-plan" their lessons from there. But, what happens when an entire school tries to adopt this approach?
In this episode, we'll explore the "portrait of a graduate," an innovative design process some schools are adopting on their path towards integrating competency-based learning into their academic landscapes. We'll explore how this process can honor and improve a student's learning, and we'll also show how some schools are navigating the complexities of moving into this new and innovative approach to teaching and learning.
