51. Message from CK-12 Founder,
Neeru Khosla
Excerpt from her Blog: October 1, 2012
The traditional school model of “fixed time, variable
learning” needs to be adjusted to focus on a new concept
that brings “maximum capability learning.” Rapid iteration
reinforces the learning process, and our revised platform
encourages innovation, creativity and flexibility. This
provides a more daring and meaningful education for the
student.
