I found this article very interesting and quite compelling. http://www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2012/10/17/... It fits into the model of learning that Sir Ken Robinson refers to, and what we have been striving for in Wheatland. Competency Based Education (CBE) is not a new concept. It's been discussed in educational circles since the seventies and in many ways it was practiced in one room school houses. I believe that the common core will begin to force all schools back in into the direction of focusing on individual students and maximizing growth for every child.
