Join Liberty Public Schools (MO) as they transition from a more traditional grading model to competency-based grading through the process of personalized learning and learner agency. This interactive session includes small groups addressing problems of practice including, 1) entry points for teachers transitioning to competency-based learning (CBL), 2) enabling conditions in schools/districts that allow for easier transitions, and 3) examples of resources, processes, and tools used by teachers to support the CBL work.
