WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST ROLE CLASSROOM!

R: Results

O: Only

L: Learning

E: EnvironmentAn environment where student performance is evaluated on end results and skill mastery rather than

when and how the task was completed. It’s a sort of ROLE REVERSAL where the student becomes the

active and inquiring learner instead of the receiver of lectures and notes, and the teacher becomes the

guiding facilitator of education instead of the holder and distributer of all knowledge.
