Comment by Tom Welch on March 11, 2009 at 3:16pm: Session Description
Forget school reform, redesign, or reinvention; after 20 years we must admit it’s not working for every student or school. CCSSO is reinventing learning for the 21st century. Students from any school work together in a virtual environment to learn, communicate and solve common problems. VLMs include non-Carnegie, performance-based credits, a suite of national assessments, outside content experts and ties to post-secondary institutions. Discussion of the pilot, expansion plans and a breakthrough curriculum design.
