Before remote learning was a thing, tailoring instruction to fit the needs of individual students was a daunting task for teachers. In a perfect world teachers would do this automatically because, in that world, every student has an understanding of what he or she doesn't know. However, in the real world teachers personalize the lesson plan for each student by incorporating technology into instruction. During COVID-19, new opportunities for schools arose to do this while relieving much of that stress off of the teacher’s shoulders. Victoria Ransom, the CEO of Prisma, has developed a 21st century school that’s on a mission to change the way students learn.
Contrary to the narrative that all students struggled with remote learning during COVID-19 Prisma’s success is proving the contrary. In this episode, we speak to Victoria about Prisma and its role in education during COVID-19. She details why a school is an excellent option for learners in the 21st century and why student collaboration is key to its approach.
