  • Builds deep instructional, assessment and leadership capacity to support transformation at all levels of practice and the system by anticipating learning needs of both the individual and the collaborative

  • Ensures equity of access and the ability for schools and districts to build capacity at scale because of program cost-effectiveness.

Testimonials

  • “I have a better understanding of CBE (Competency-Based Education) and its components. I have learned new things that I will be taking with me and improving upon as I learn more and collaborate with others.”

    Teacher

  • “I couldn't have been more pleased to be part of all of the presentations for learning. It was apparent that the staff we have enrolled in these classes are pushing themselves and each other and want to become leaders in CBE. As a district, the more people we have with a greater understanding of CBE is only going to accelerate our ability to accomplish our goals in a more efficient and effective manner.”

    Assistant Superintendent C&I

  • “The professors have been very helpful and encouraging. They are supportive and willing to go the extra mile to help in my CBE (Competency-Based Education) journey”

    Teacher

  • “The members of the CBE cohort have not only demonstrated their increase in understanding about CBE, but I have seen evidence of these participants using newly gained skills with students in the classrooms. This supports our goal to implement a system of CBE throughout our district in a way that further develops collegial relationships and builds capacity from within our schools.”

    Superintendent

  • “Each teach-in has provided an opportunity to see and hear from peers, helping to see the content and resources more clearly when thinking of implementing in my own classroom.”

    Teacher

  • “Our 27 educators entered this program as teachers and assistant principals; they have emerged 18 months later as leaders. I see the impact in classrooms, which is critical. But, the reason we invested in the program was for a broader, more systemic impact. I am seeing that in buildings, with these leaders shifting culture and structure to enable more student-centered learning. Phenomenal!”
