<p>Justin and educational historian <a href="http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~ehutt/" target="[object Object]">Ethan Hutt</a>, Assistant Professor at University of Maryland - College Park, discuss how schools started using student seat-time to measure achievement and they compare the benefits and drawbacks of traditional time-based and competency-based systems. </p>
<p>As you watch this video, keep the following questions in mind. </p>
<ul>
<li>Ethan describes how “there’s a sort of virtue in a little bit of ambiguity” (3:12) when it comes to teachers having discretion over their teaching and grading. In your school, what kind of discretion do teachers have over their classes and how they grade their students? What are the benefits and drawbacks of that level of discretion? </li>
<li>In time-based systems, some worry that student learning is inhibited by the amount of time allotted. In your experience, have you seen students struggling to learn due to time constraints? What were the consequences?</li>
</ul>
