The concept behind competency-based education is simple: learning is best measured by students demonstrating mastery of learning, rather than the number of hours spent in a classroom. By redesigning the education system around actual student learning, we will prepare each student more effectively for a future in an increasingly global and competitive economy.<\/p>\n<p>Competency-based education is a major shift in school culture, structures, and pedagogy focused on ensuring that all students succeed and addressing fundamental shortcomings of the traditional model. Districts and schools turn to competency-based education for different reasons: to help students learn most effectively, to achieve greater equity, to foster deeper learning, or to create a system of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Competency-based education is being implemented at deeper levels in more schools and districts every year, and most states have made initial or extensive policy adjustments to allow for competency-based education innovations. Many districts are making the transition because they know they can\u2019t help all of their students reach career and college readiness without greater personalization.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aurora-institute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-competency-based-education-an-updated-definition-web.pdf\">Competency-based education<\/a> is a system in which:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students are empowered daily to make important decisions about their learning experiences, how they will create and apply knowledge, and how they will demonstrate their learning.<\/li>\n<li>Assessment is a meaningful, positive, and empowering learning experience for students that yields timely, relevant, and actionable evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs.<\/li>\n<li>Students progress based on evidence of mastery, not seat time.<\/li>\n<li>Students learn actively using different pathways and varied pacing.<\/li>\n<li>Strategies to ensure equity for all students are embedded in the culture, structure, and pedagogy of schools and education systems.<\/li>\n<li>Rigorous, common expectations for learning (knowledge, skills, and dispositions) are explicit, transparent, measurable, and transferable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A competency-based school should implement all seven elements of the definition. Strong implementation also requires policies, pedagogy, structures, and culture that support every student. These topics are explained further in <a href=\"https:\/\/aurora-institute.org\/resource\/what-is-competency-based-education-an-updated-definition\/\">What Is Competency-Based Education?

When we started, states were already using different terms. So we decided to use the term that the U.S. Department of Education was using at the time.<\/p>\n<p>What we call it isn\u2019t important. What is important is that we share a working definition that drives policy and practice towards a learner-centered system in which success is the only option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr
