Pop Up Problems of Practice in Competency Ed

Date and Time: Monday, March 6, 4:00-6:00PM CT
Location: Hilton Austin Downtown in Room 408
Presenters: Susan Patrick, iNACOL; Chris Sturgis, MetisNet; Virgel Hammonds, KnowledgeWorks

Join the co-founders of CompetencyWorks and a super-dooper experienced leader in competency-based education for rapid-fire discussions on problems of practice (or policy). Between us, we’ve visited over one hundred schools and districts that have embraced competency-based education. Everyone can be a participant in this session. We’ll start by one of us challenging the other two with a problem of practice. Each speaker gets 2 minutes to unpack the problem and offer a solution. Then all of you in the room can pop up with your perspective and solution. You can challenge also – so bring your problems on. We’ll have a buzzer – so no one speaks more than 2 minutes at a time!
