The Vision

By completing this Master’s Program, educators will know and be able to apply the core components of a learner-centered model (students driving their learning) within instruction, assessment, and leadership, be able to identify the requirements of a system that supports learner-centered pedagogies, and be able to create a plan and continue to support transforming practices towards a learner-centered model.

The Program

• 15 Months • Online • Fully Accredited •

2Revolutions and What School Could Be are partnering to offer a Master’s of Education in Learner-Centered Schools & Systems. Through a robust competency framework–which includes a focus on teaching and learning and leadership competencies–as well as the skills and dispositions that support implementing those competencies, educators are better equipped to implement learner-centered and equitable classrooms and systems, with a focus on learner-centered pedagogy and leadership.

The program is organized into two Blocks. Block 1 is 15 credits and earns a Certification from What School Could Be and 2Revolutions in Learner-Centered Schools & Systems. Block 2 is 15 additional credits and culminates in an interdisciplinary Capstone Defense that provides an opportunity to integrate the learning from throughout the program and address a problem of practice that hinders a move toward learning-centered and equitable classrooms or leadership context. Learning will occur through a combination of asynchronous online (80%) and synchronous virtual and in-person learning experiences (20%), with a combined focus on both individual and district transformation.

The program is unique because it:

  • Models a competency-based, deeper learning experience with a focus on demonstrating application of learning instead of evidence of new knowledge.
  • Allows learners to pursue a flexible pathway based on their authentic needs and interests and is centered around meeting the core competencies in ways that are meaningful and authentic to their work and context.
  • Supports learners to learn at their own pace by leveraging instructional content or moving directly to culminating tasks, which provide opportunities to demonstrate competency.
  • Anticipates learning needs of both the individual and the collaborative to build competency and support leadership development.
  • Ensures equity of access and the ability 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!”
Superintendent
