Thrive, a 200 student K-8 school, has a makerspace where students build stuff and work out marble trajectories, and gives a glimpse into the future of learning—blended, personalized, and competency-based. The article includes tools, ideas for implementation of the student-centered learning framework, and various rubrics for project development, social emotional learning and blended learning. There are also videos, featuring students from Thrive, explaining some key terms from the rubrics like project-based learning.
