\"csbouldersmall\"<\/a>With the help of our Advisory Board, Susan Patrick and I have been trying to sketch out a) which competencies are needed to implement competency education and b) what a core set of trainings would look like to support state, district, and school personnel in developing these competencies. We don\u2019t have funding for this, nor do we know of anyone else who has funding \u2013 but we think it is important to put these ideas out there as states, districts, and schools charge ahead, and we need to be able to make the best thinking and best resources available.<\/p>\n

We have been thinking about creating a set of \u201cbadges\u201d based on a framework within which we can capture the essential knowledge and skills. Depending on your role, what you will need to know and be able to do is different.<\/p>\n

Our rough draft ideas are below \u2013 but we know it\u2019s not quite right.\u00a0 First the language needs to be inspiring and capture the spirit and joy of learning. Second, the overarching framework doesn\u2019t work quite right. We also have a long way to go to get these key questions right.\u00a0 We\u2019d love to hear your ideas about how to break this up in a meaningful way for schools and educators. In fact, if you have already started to create a set of competencies\u00a0 or a badging process for the adults, please tell us about it as we might be able to build off of your efforts.<\/p>\n

Expert (4):<\/em> I\u2019ve had successful experiences in competency education that produced increased achievement for students and can support my peers.
\nExperienced (3):<\/em> I\u2019ve implemented it \u2013 it may not be perfect but I\u2019m learning from my mistakes.
\nNovice (2):<\/em> I\u2019m working on planning and early implementation right now. Wow I have a lot of questions.
\nExplorer (1):<\/em> I\u2019m becoming familiar with the concepts, implications, and design choices.<\/p>\n
