Washington recently made significant investments in expanding mastery-based learning (MBL) by extending the directive of the MBL Work Group and by creating a state-funded grant program to support MBL demonstration sites throughout the state. We will present on the progress of the Work Group in creating a state Profile of a Graduate, which will be used to align the state’s education system, including graduation requirements, and transform the system to advance equity and personalized education.
