There is no other way to accommodate the facts that different children learn at different rates and have different learning needs. But to have an attainment$-$based rather than time$-$based system, we must in turn have person$-$based progress rather than group$-$based progress. And that in tum requires changing the role of the teacher to that of a coach or facilitator$/$manager$,$ rather than that of dispenser of knowledge to groups of students who pass by at the ring of a bell like so many little widgets on an assembly line.

Student Version

In the new paradigm of the information age, rather than serving as a dispenser of knowledge as teachers did in the industrial age, their role must change to that of coach or facilitator of learning $($Reigeluth$,1994).$ There is no other way to accommodate the facts that different children learn at different rates and have different learning needs $($Reigeluth$,1994,$ p$.8).$
