Episode 11: Individualizing Instruction: Meeting Every Learner’s Needs (w/Robert Barnett)

Robert Barnett is the co-founder of the Modern Classrooms Project and author of the book, Meeting Every Learner's Needs, Redesigning Instruction So All Students Can Succeed. On this episode of the Rocket PD Podcast, Corey asks Robert about his journey as a classroom teacher, the challenges of one-size-fits-all instruction, and how the community he's building through Modern Classrooms aims to change the status quo. Robert and Corey talk about ways that simple tools like video, self-paced lessons, and mastery checks can be used to individualize learning. And they ask - and just maybe answer - the question: Is it possible to meet every learner's needs? Stick around to find out.
