Participants will explore how competency-based learning systems allow educators to realize a vision of learning for all at high levels. Schools should be designed to prepare learners for a changing world, promoting the application and transfer of learning. Critical, innovative thinking/problem-solving are crucial components, and a focus on capturing evidence of learning anywhere, anytime, is crucial. The PLC model will be presented as a foundational school-based structure to support the work.
