Five Procedures at the Center for PPPP

1) Focus on skills (not grades) to earn micro badges (an alternative to grades)

2) School work is displayed in portfolios or free websites

3) Projects that earn academic credit in several subjects (connected to digital portfolios)

4) Personalization with Personal Learning Plans for each student

5) Alternatives to lectures:

Flip the Classroom, students arrive ready to discuss the topic of the lecture (which was delivered before the class). The class includes concept checks and "Turn to your neighbor" using the techniques of Eric Mazur and the Peer Instruction Network
