Waco, TX - Education Service Center Region 12's Digital Innovation Specialist Andi McNair recently wrote an article about Passion Based Learning for the Association of Educational Service Agencies' (AESA) national magazine. In the article, McNair discusses how advancements in technology have altered the way growing minds learn today and how passion-based learning gives students an opportunity to learn content and standards through application.  

"With an average student attention span of eight seconds and instant access to information, it is critical that their reality drives our approach for how we educate them, and not our perceptions or unwillingness to change," McNair explains.  "Education Service Agencies (ESAs) can facilitate this paradigm shift in the way we educate young students through ongoing training opportunities, much like the passion-based learning work underway at Education Service Center (ESC) Region 12 in Waco, Texas."
