iNACOL PLUGGED IN 6.1.18
Dear Colleagues:
CompetencyWorks released a new report, Levers and Logic Models: A Framework to Guide Research and Design of High-Quality Competency-Based Education Systems. This paper uses logic model frameworks to convey relationships between essential levers (outcomes, drivers and mediating factors) that inform the design of competency-based education systems and critical components of competency-based practice at four interdependent levels (student experience, professional practice of educators, district and school systems and culture).
The logic models intend to help researchers and practitioners understand the critical components of competency-based education at multiple levels of practice. CompetencyWorks is hosting a webinar highlighting key findings from the report on June 19 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET. Learn more and register. Please consider sharing this report with your networks:
