[Stay up to date, here, on the murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell]( [The public education system operates in much the same way today as it did 100 years ago. Utah State Superintendent for Public Instruction Sydnee Dickson explained, "If you think about it, it was really that old Carnegie unit and how much time equates to a credit." Dickson said the 100-year-old model is still how things are done, "and yet we know that students learn at different paces and in different ways. So, we're trying to unpack the whole system to say, 'Can we be more student-centered in our approach to learning?'" The goal is to give students "more choice within guardrails," the superintendent said.

This is the kind of system already in place at Washington Fields Elementary School in Washington, Utah. You can walk up to any student in that school and say, "Tell me what you're studying this week." The student may tell you what they're working on in a particular class.
