Exploring, organizing and achieving success and sustainability in creating learning around competency-based models of education is a top-priority to many educators who are trying to reach a more diverse population of students. This endeavor requires careful planning, a strong understanding of the multidimensional roles of educators, an exploration into the reality of using technology and data systems to deliver material and provide feedback in a blended learning model, and a belief that is possible to prepare students in this age of innovation.
In this session, participants will learn how to:
- Outline a process for the curation of competency-based components.
- Explore how personalized learning and competency-based education can develop motivation, metacognition, and social and emotional competency.
- Evaluate methods for collecting data on student learning and experiences.
- Examine comprehensive ways to organize schoolwork under competencies that meet college and career-ready goals.
After this introductory webinar participants will be invited to take part in a free online course provided by the Northeast Comprehensive Center to further develop competency-based components and personalized lesson plans in their classrooms.
