DPL Educational Program: Fred Bramante, Author of Off the Clock: Moving Education From Time to Competency

Fred Bramante, Durham resident and author of Off the Clock: Moving Education from Time to Competency, will speak about the redesign of public education at the Durham Public Library on Wednesday, January 16 at 6:30 p.m.

The state regulations were changed in 2005 to move our schools to a competency based model, but how are our schools doing? What's the role of higher education in all of this?
New Hampshire has won the prestigious 2012 State Innovation Award from the Education Commission of the States, but how are we doing on implementation of these innovations?

Bramante speaks around the country about this topic. He is past-Chairman of the NH Board of Education and is a former science teacher. He was charged by Governor Benson to lead this effort toward competency-based learning. Bramante will speak about how this new attitude toward learning will lead to a better, more cost-effective, customized education for every child by pulling the entire community into the process of education.
