Tools to Support your Competency-Based Learning Program: A Personalized Learning Framework

What if….. Progress Student at Own Agency Pace Not allowed to Fail? No Age- Based Learning

What is Competency-Based Learning? Competency-based education describes learning progression based on mastery of content rather than passage of time. Students progress at a meaningful pace, while schools and teachers provide differentiated instruction and support.

What is CBL? • Looking at every individual student and asking, “How does that student perform best?” • Personalizing content and instruction for each individual student • Teachers do not teach grade levels; They teach students

Competency-Based Learning Defined International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL) and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) developed the following working definition of competency: 1. Students advance upon demonstrated mastery. 2. Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower students. 3. Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students. 4. Students receive rapid, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs. 5. Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include application and creation of knowledge along with the development of important skills and dispositions.

ESSA IMPLICATIONS???

How Does ESSA Have an Impact? • Prior to the passage of ESSA, federal law prohibited the use of adaptive assessments and test items outside of a student’s grade level for federal accountability purposes. • Under ESSA the responsibility for developing an accountability system now lies in the hands of our 51 states (including D.C.). ESSA simply provides a framework for the minimum elements that a state must include in its accountability system. States must include a measure of student growth or other statewide academic indicators for elementary and middle schools and as a measures of student growth may be used for an academic achievement indicator for high schools. • ESSA now specifically permits the use of competency-based assessments, instructionally embedded assessments, interim assessments, cumulative year-end assessments, computer- adaptive assessments, and performance-based assessments.
