The What, The Why, and The How of Competency-Based Education 

 This three-day series is designed for educators to learn and understand the architecture of competency-based education.  Each of the days is designed as a stand-alone session. However, the series is designed as a coherent experience. Each session builds on the previous session providing topical significance for the participants to then incorporate in the afternoon session during guided design work. 
 

Day 1: The Competency Education Framework

In the morning session, participants will be introduced to the competency education framework.  Why competency education now? What does it look like in classrooms? How do I shift from traditional teaching and learning in the standards-based classroom to this competency framework?  This introductory session will lead to an afternoon for school teams to think through their readiness to move to competency education.
