Thank you Platypus! I had done a search, and came up empty (well, with a zillion other things...). Guess I didn't search specifically enough. :-)

Very interesting thread, and helpful.

Puffin - why do you say run?

CBE done "right" (mastery based movement; able to test out of 'required' courses or chunks of courses, etc.) seems like a great thing. I can see how to do it at middle and high school fairly easily, but elementary seems harder. Particularly in a regular public school setting... Anyone have insight on that - experience of what has worked/failed?
