Two states, Florida and Utah, considered pilot bills this session. Florida\u2019s Governor, Rick Scott, signed the bill into law on March 25, 2016, and Utah&#8217;s Governor, Gary Herbert, signed the bill into law on March 28, 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">States create competency-based education pilots to help launch small-scale, short-term programs that localities use to determine how a larger program might work in practice and go to scale. While innovations in schools are taking hold across states, state policymakers are seeking to help support and foster educators. Pilots support collaboration to help bring together practitioners and educators to share lessons learned, while addressing the changes needed in instructional methods.
