Susan Russell’s middle school science class in Shelby County Public Schools uses a combination of routines and structures to build classroom community while self-pacing.

Toni Rose is joined by Grace James’s principal, Ms. Ronda Cosby and five of her 7th-grade GEMS (Girls Excelling in Math and Science), Anasia, Monica, Hailey, Natalie, and Nicole to discuss the impact of blended-learning, self-paced structure, and mastery-based learning in their learning journeys.

Secondary teachers share tips and tools that make self-pacing work in their classes.
