Concepts like student-centered learning, personalized learning, and self-paced learning can be nebulous, hard to define, and encapsulate a variety of subtopics and concepts. In this episode we’ll hear how Eastern York School District made their vision of “modern” teaching and learning a reality through the use of clear, undersatndable progressions.
