I received a number of emails asking for a recommend reading list for competency education for summer reading. We are all at different levels in our understanding and thinking about competency education, so I\u2019m going to create three summer reading lists (and as always, please add your \u201cmust reads\u201d in comments below):<\/p>\n
Below is a beginning reading list (I\u2019m hoping others will suggest some good resources) about how we are advancing and where we need to go. Even trying to put this together made me realize how much our conversations about what is possible are in fact just that\u2014conversations. We may not yet be at the place where we know how all of the pieces will form a competency-based system, but we are certainly ready to start putting our ideas together and sketching out what might be possible.<\/p>\n
FYI: At the end of this post, I\u2019ve listed a number of big questions that we don\u2019t have a lot written on yet. Obviously this is an open invitation to anyone who wants to tackle organizing some ideas so we can engage in shaping our future together. Also, if you have recommended reading that captures some of the big ideas that will be forming the new competency-based system, please pass this on.<\/i><\/p>\n
Accountability<\/b><\/p>\n Systems of Assessments<\/b><\/p>\n Human Resources (i.e. Teacher Evaluation and other things) Fully Integrating Personalized, Blended, and Competency Education<\/b><\/p>\n There are lots of pieces trying to explain the relationship between these, but few that start to explain what this could look like if we were taking advantage of everything we know. The Shift From Cohorts to Competency<\/a> (soon to be re-released), iNACOL’s Mean What You Say<\/a> and Maximizing Competency Education and Blended Learning<\/a> begin this conversation. ReSchool Colorado<\/a>\u00a0is thinking beyond schools to what a new system might look like.<\/p>\n Big Questions We Need to Tackle<\/b><\/p>\n\n
