Summary
Finally — a sustainable model for self-paced learning and mastery-based grading! Kareem Farah of the Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) shares how ANY teacher of any grade level or subject area can maximize class time and connect with students one-on-one.
If you feel like you never have enough time to truly differentiate or personalize learning, try the MCP approach. Kareem's sharing 3 strategies that you can experiment with integrating in your classroom to allow kids to work at their own pace, and free you up to work with students individually and in small groups.
This convo will help you figure out logistics and practical considerations, whether your school's fully on board with student-centered, innovative teaching methodologies or you're just getting started.
