There are thousands of leaders and educators across the country with deep expertise in competency-based education. We believe these practitioners can make valuable contributions to the field and that they should lead national conversations on critical issues. Thus, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competency<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Works regularly invites <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">practitioners to contribute to the advancement of new knowledge and key issues as volunteer members of Technical Advisory Groups (TAG).

Competency-based education is more than a piecemeal approach or technical solution; it is a comprehensive cultural, pedagogical, and structural approach to achieving educational equity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competency-based education demands new ways of thinking about teaching: new competencies and mindsets, new pathways for training and advancement, new roles and responsibilities, and new professional support structures. To this end, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competency<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Works \u00a0will publish a report on professional learning and development for competency-based education in fall 2018. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of this report is to help practitioners: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand critical differences between educator competencies in traditional and competency-based education systems;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visualize key elements of a possible future state for professional learning and development in a high-quality competency-based education system;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify best practices in professional learning and development for competency-based education; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anticipate and understand the professional shifts needed to transition to and eventually sustain competency-based education; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify possible entry points and strategies at multiple levels of practice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Participate<\/h3>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h4>How the TAG Works<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TAG operates as a virtual conversation between participants and the author using an open Google doc. Participants can visit the Google document at any point during the one week TAG window to leave suggestions and comments. We will do our best to respond to ideas and feedback in real time. Within one week of the TAG\u2019s closing we will contact all participants to summarize key feedback and input. The final paper is scheduled for release in October 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>TAG Dates<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TAG will run from July 16-20. For those who prefer to work on the weekends, the Google doc will be open starting on Friday, July 13. We will hold a phone call on July 16 at 12:00 p.m. ET to provide an overview of the TAG process and introduce the key ideas in the draft framing paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>How to Register<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We invite you to join this Technical Advisory Group by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfxE7KNgMgRFJ1ipe01jLvwWO7-UKmos2_MUq1qutHUMcf6qQ\/viewform?usp=sf_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>signing up here<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please consider sharing this opportunity with your peers and networks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please consider taking advantage of the TAG to engage your organization, professional learning community, and networks in exploring what professional learning in K-12 competency-based education looks like.
