The studies are great reading and raise a number of issues about principal leadership, community engagement, continuous improvement, and implementation planning. However, it\u2019s hard to find the hour or so it takes to nestle in with each of the case studies and do the necessary reflection needed to learn from them.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s why its so great that the Maine DOE Center for Best Practices did the work for us with the <a href=\"http:\/\/maine.gov\/doe\/cbp\/case-studies\/Threads of Proficiency Implementation.html\">Threads of Implementation: A Thematic Review of Six Case Studies of Maine School Districts Implementing Proficiency-Based Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It will only take you 15 minutes or so to read this summary, which includes sections on vision and framework, policy, leadership, teacher engagement, finance and professional development, technology, pacing, communications, and cultural change. The review is even more valuable as a discussion tool for district teams thinking about converting to competency education. Use each of the segments to help you devise your strategies and implementation plan, learning from the successes and stumbles of these districts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the state leadership in Maine \u2013 they are walking the walk when it comes to creating a learning culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","mapsvg_location":""},"legacy_category":[],"issue":[377,382],"location":[94],"class_list":["post-2959","cw_post","type-cw_post","status-publish","hentry","issue-state-policy","issue-create-pilots-and-innovation-zones","location-maine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
