A new guide provides insights on districts’ efforts to pioneer approaches in “competency-based learning,” and documents the many challenges they can face along the way.
The online Competency-Based Education Toolkit was unveiled recently by Digital Promise, a nonprofit that seeks to promote the effective use of technology and research in schools, and Education Elements, a consulting firm that works with districts on “personalized learning” and other goals.
The guide offers on-the-ground examples from districts that are at various stages of developing or implementing competency-based models, and it’s meant to serve as a blueprint for other K-12 systems that might follow their lead.
