I googled &#8220;outcomes based education&#8221; and found the Bundaberg Curriculum Exchange, which said: &#8220;Lessons can now be directed towards assisting students in developing specific identified outcomes (per syllabus) utilizing whatever context we believe best suites outcome development and student interest.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Think about the power of that statement&#8230;we have the ability to truly reach every student in the way that suits them and the content most effectively.
