Chapter 2 of 10.
Host Thembi Duncan speaks with education expert Dr. Charles Reigeluth, author of Vision and Action: Reinventing Schools through Personalized Competency Based Education, about how America's time-based education system is setting students up for failure. When progress depends on the calendar instead of true learning, students accumulate gaps, confidence drops, and potential is lost.
Dr. Reigeluth introduces competency-based education as a powerful alternative that allows students to move forward only when they’ve mastered the material.
This episode features Nikita Khetan from the Red Bridge School in San Francisco, California, as well as Dee Thomas, Jim Wartman, and Nick Ryan from the Minnesota New Country School in Henderson, Minnesota, who all share how they put student mastery at the center of learning.
