Robert Barnett is the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of the Modern Classrooms Project and a graduate of Harvard Law School. In this conversation, Rob and I explore the challenges teachers face in addressing the diverse needs of students, with a focus on the benefits of self-paced learning, as well as being a holder of a very random world record! We also discuss the need for a paradigm shift in educator evaluation, highlighting the significance of mastery-based learning and the integration of technology in the classroom. Further, we touch on the time and effort required to build a Modern Classroom, but emphasize how this investment ultimately pays off in fostering more personalized learning. Additionally, Robert shares insights into how mastery-based learning accommodates students at various levels of understanding. Lastly, we compare traditional whole-class instruction with a more flexible, student-centered approach that encourages individualized pacing and engagement.
