A VIRTUAL PRE-SYMPOSIUM WEBINAR


Many schools and districts struggled to shift to online learning during the COVID-19 crisis in early 2020. Key issues included equitable access to technology and overall student engagement. Similar to other competency-based schools across the country, competency-based education helped three North Carolina schools rapidly shift to online learning for all students with a high level of engagement. Join us to hear from K-12 students and school leaders about lessons learned and what’s next as they look to the future.
