In addition, we offer state policymakers five action steps to fund state-level capacity-building activities for personalized, competency-based learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To realize the goal of education system transformation, a sustained commitment to investing in innovation is critical. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Innovation funding can provide for important capacity-building activities such as: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional development, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical assistance, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional learning communities, and <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statewide information dissemination. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>State Strategies<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue brief chronicles the approaches undertaken by leaders in Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Arkansas, South Carolina, Utah, Idaho and Georgia to support innovation and capacity-building for personalized, competency-based learning. Their paths to establishing effective funding strategies are offered as examples for other states that wish to follow their lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vermont, for example, began with comprehensive state policies that lay the groundwork for student-centered learning statewide. The Vermont Agency of Education repurposed state funds to support professional development for personalized learning through a series of seminars, as well as through a statewide learning network. The state education agency also realigned its internal structures, creating four school support teams to help schools with various aspects of personalized, proficiency-based education. These activities have allowed the state agency to support the work of scaling student-centered learning without an appropriation dedicated for this purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utah, on the other hand, began its journey with a relatively small but dedicated state appropriation for a pilot program that sent school leaders from 14 schools on a learning tour of the more advanced models of personalized, competency-based school models in and out of the state. The state plans to issue guidance to other districts in the state on how to make the transition to competency-based education, in case they want to transition to competency-based education as well. The Utah State Board of Education will create a grant program that allows schools to seek funding to plan, and later implement, personalized, competency-based education. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about other states approached this work, as well as the Federal funding opportunities that states can access as part of an overall funding strategy, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inacol.org\/resource\/state-funding-strategies-to-support-education-innovation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">download the issue brief<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Action Steps<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The path laid by the states highlighted in the issue brief are instructive for state policymakers as they consider how to develop sustainable funding plans for personalized, competency-based education. We recommend a number of initial steps to set the right conditions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning from other states about how they are funding innovation pilots, learning communities, professional development, technical assistance and other state initiatives to build capacity for transformation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging districts, communities and state stakeholders to identify the areas where funding is needed to increase capacity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying existing funding sources that could be repurposed for capacity building;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assessing the funding levels needed, the funding targets and the purposes and uses of those funds; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing a diverse, cross-disciplinary working group to study national and international approaches to school finance and funding formulas to align with student-centered learning models and ensure equitable funding for all students. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, download the
