Modernizing Instruction in CTE: Student Self-Pacing as a Gateway to Mastery-Based Learning
Friday January 31, 2025 7:30pm - 8:15pm MST
The traditional approach to instruction relies on all students in each classroom being at the same place in their learning journey each day. We know this ideal can be practically impossible to achieve. By leveraging innovative planning and facilitation practices that put students at the center of their learning, educators can create opportunities for truly personalized instruction. In this session, we will explore the support that educators need in order to implement self-paced, mastery-based learning with their students and review examples from CTE Educators in the Davis School District.
