Description
Innovation in Education is our new 3-part series that will dive into three different schools that are innovating the traditional schooling model we are all familiar with, with non-traditional curriculums, strategies, and values. Our first guest is Bethann Jellison, principal of the Carlton Innovation School in Salem, Massachusetts. The Carlton School, a public school categorized as a Massachusetts “innovation school” back in 2012, uses a cohort model with mixed age groups in each classroom. Kids are placed in an appropriate cohort, based not on age, but on their individual academic, social, and emotional needs. How does the cohort model work? And how has this innovative model affected the outcomes for students? Let’s catch up with Carole and Bethann to find out.
