How We Will Be Different: The Reflections of A Founder, Part 2

This entry is part of a series, The Reflections of A Founder»

In a word: Student-Centric.

Ah, the buzzword that gets educators to listen. But is this really new? Is just throwing a buzzword or two around actually make a difference? Of course not. The focus of centering around student learning has been around nearly 50 years and is the staple of practically every educational course in the market. We all claim to be student-centric, but are we really? Sure, teachers use multiple techniques to teach topics to the adoring students in their rooms. Any naturally gifted teacher does this and has done so long before a particular a label was coined to describe it. So honestly there is nothing new here; however…

In a second word: Learner-Driven.

Another great buzzword :) However, I would stress that while similar to the former, this later word signifies something more. Does the student-learner have the option to choose their instructor for core subject areas? Does the student-learner have the resources available to learn any subject of their choosing from a qualified individual in that field of study? For the average person, these are practically impossible. Under a learner-driven system, these possibilities are more than just possible, they are real. The learner will have the ability to control their education in unprecedented ways.

And that is our goal at Fourth Logic.
