Outcome-based education (OBE) is one of those that is new, even
revolutionary, and is now being promoted as the panacea for
America's educational woes. This reform has been driven by
educators in response to demands for greater accountability by
taxpayers and as a vehicle for breaking with traditional ideas
about how we teach our children. If implemented, this approach to
curriculum development could change our schools more than any other
reform proposal in the last thirty years.

According to William Spady, a major advocate of this type of reform, three goals drive this new approach to creating school curricula. First, all students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day or in the same way. Second, each success by a student breeds more success. Third, schools control the conditions of success. In other words, students are seen as totally malleable creatures. If we create the right environment, any student can be prepared for any academic or vocational career. The key is to custom fit the schools to each student's learning style and abilities.
