Systemic Change in Education: The Aurora Institute’s Student-Centered Vision
In this thought-provoking episode, we chat with a key leader from the Aurora Institute, Laurie Gagnon, to discuss their groundbreaking efforts in transforming education. The Aurora Institute, a forward-thinking nonprofit, has been working tirelessly to advance educational practices and policies that champion student-centered learning and next-generation approaches to education.
Laurie shares insights into how the Aurora Institute is fostering systemic change by creating personalized learning environments tailored to each student's unique needs. With a vision that extends beyond traditional state standards, the organization recognizes that not every child learns in the same way, and they are passionate about reshaping educational experiences to reflect this diversity.
We dive into the details of their CBE Starter Pack—a valuable resource featured in their newsletter that helps educators and schools transition to competency-based education (CBE), which emphasizes mastery of skills over seat time. Laurie also highlights the role the Aurora Institute plays as a thought leader in educational transformation, offering resources, research, and support to educators, policymakers, and school leaders nationwide.
Join us for a deep dive into the future of education, where Laurie and the Aurora Institute are working to ensure that all students have access to high-quality, personalized learning experiences that empower them to succeed in our rapidly changing world.
