This webinar will answer the most frequently asked questions about why competency-based education is important, how it relates to personalization, what makes up an effective competency-based model, and what policies need to be in place to fully support it.

New from iNACOL’s Blog: Education Domain Funding Challenges and Action Steps for Policymakers to Support Education Transformation States and school districts around the nation are advancing policies to support the shift toward student-centered, personalized, competency-based education. iNACOL is frequently asked to offer guidance on how to fund this transformation, and to that end, we released State Funding Strategies to Support Education Innovation. The issue brief presented several case studies showing the diverse approaches states have used to resource their innovation initiatives. Policymakers can begin their resourcing approach by examining their state’s funding formulas and how they might pose barriers and challenges that limit the flexibility needed for innovative learning models. – Maria Worthen and Natalie Truong READ MORE   The Role of School Libraries in School Transformation In a learner-centered paradigm, libraries serve an important purpose, for one of their main commitments is to cultivate self-interest in learners and equip them with the skills to independently evaluate sources of information. Materials that libraries supply for students – books, computers, audiobooks, microfiche, etc. – are all just mediums for the transfer of information. Librarians act not only as guides to assist students in finding materials that are suitable to their academic goals and interests, but also as an arbiter of the sources to which students are given access. –Dustin Hensley READ MORE

Featured Resource: Webinar – Moving Toward Mastery: Growing, Developing and Sustaining Educators for Competency-Based Education In this webinar, Katherine Casey takes an in-depth look into her report, Moving Toward Mastery, which examines how the educator workforce can be redesigned for a personalized, competency-based system. Professional learning environments for educators should reflect those of their students, as it is ciritcal that educators are properly equipped for their new roles. View this webinar to learn more about rethinking professional learning. READ BONUS: The Future of Teacher Learning

Innovators Worth Watching: Bootcamps

As I say each week…  From the neo-liberal, educational privatizers masquerading as an academic body – so the term research here is used VERY loosely (as none of this actually represents methodologically sound, reliable, valid, or empirical research in any real way).
