SUMARY

In this Deep Dive episode, the White Rabbit has a conversation with Jetteke, the team Lead for the Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary groups at Casa.

In the first part of this two-part episode, Jetteke explains in a nutshell how the Dutch government provides guidelines for primary school curriculums, walks us through the special way in which Casa structures and implements her curriculum, and discuss how Casa uses standardizes testing to complement the way in which the guides asses the children's individual progress.
