During the October 11 professional learning, districts received an introductory overview of the concept Growth-to-Readiness/Mastery. This overview laid the foundation for the work of System Design Zone 1 districts as they implement the Demonstration Project; informed the work of System Design Zone 2 districts as they complete their Demonstration Project Waiver request; and informed the ILDZ and CNZ members of the progress being made.
The monthly learning topic was “Bringing Learner-Centered Systems to Life.” Dr. Theresa Ewald, I4PL Facilitator, presented multiple examples of each of the CBL elements in practice from a variety of national districts. Participants engaged in collegial dialogue about the examples and made connections to the work in their own districts. CNZ members added their expertise to the dialogue by identifying where they are supporting the work through different efforts.
