Inside a performance-based learning school

Performance-based learning means that students get to learn at their own pace. See how adopting this model changed student outcomes at Lindsay High School.

This video is part of our Cool School Models series, which features seven new and emerging school models. Across the country, some standout schools have thrown out the old playbook and created something totally new. Kids tend to love these schools, as do the educators who work there, which makes for creative, innovative learning environments where kids grow and thrive. Check out the other six emerging school models (project-based learning; language immersion; high expectations, high support; Montessori; environmental science; and place-based learning) to get a glimpse of what’s possible — and then look for schools like these near you.
