This discussion brings together leaders from Prince William County Public Schools and Tulsa Public Schools to share the practical strategies that support competency-based learning, how to create more student-centered teaching environments, and how new instructional approaches can better support and engage teachers.
Our Guests
Kareem Farah, Modern Classrooms Project
Kareem Farah spent his teaching career as a high school math educator in Hawaii and Washington, DC. He earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis and later received a master’s degree in secondary education at Johns Hopkins University. Instead of using a traditional lecture model, Kareem taught mathematics through a blended model where students accessed content through his self-made videos. The cornerstone of his classroom was the ability for students to work through the content at their own pace, and Kareem’s ability to employ mastery-based grading to evaluate student learning. In 2018, Kareem received the DC Public Schools Award for Classroom Innovation and was featured in Edutopia and CBS News for his work.
