"Competency-Based Education (CBE) can be loosely and simply defined as flexibility in awarding or earning credit. Fundamentally, CBE allows students to show progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. Competency-based strategies provide students with personalized learning opportunities, including online and blended learning, dual enrollment and early college high schools, project-based and community-based learning, and credit recovery. This type of education often leads to better student engagement because the content is relevant to each student and tailored to the student's unique needs. In addition, ESSA awards assessment grants to states who use CBE. It is also named in ESSA as an example ofinnovative assessment. All three authors have been at the forefront of implementing CBA across schools and districts, and in this book they share their best practices. They have seen schools struggling with how to get started and how to support and sustain the many shifts needed to move from more traditional curricula, instruction, assessment, and reporting to systems that require unique roles and new skill sets for school leaders, teachers, and students. The book will include a deep dive into the many facets that need to be considered for CBE to be successful, including the often neglected topics of communication with families, multi-year assessment plans, supporting PLCs, and student voice/choice"--

The roadmap for your school’s CBE journey!  
Employ the WHAT (deeper academic and personalized learning), the WHY (equity), and the HOW (learner-centered approaches) of Competency-Based Education, maximizing the time, place, and pace of student learning. Make the shift to CBE using best practices from the authors’ CBE implementation experiences across states, districts, and schools.

  • Build the foundation with organizational shifts - policy, leadership, culture, and professional learning
  • Shift teaching-learning structures—rigorous learning, performance assessment, and evidence-based grading and reporting
  • Dive into student-centered classrooms—personalized instruction and shifting mindsets for teacher-student roles, responsibilities, and classroom culture

Recenzijos

"The beauty and professional appeal of competency-based education (CBE) is that it emphasizes more than just academic success; it places equal value on the vitally important element of students personal success. In Deeper Competency-Based Learning, co-authors Hess, Colby, and Joseph have created a richly detailed CBE roadmap that any school system can confidently follow to significantly transform their classrooms and make a greater impact on student learning. Helping educators make the often-challenging shift from the traditional teacher-centered instructional model to the learner-centered model can become, for readers, an exciting journey. This powerful book, illustrated with chapter-specific tools, resources, and educator examples, is your trusted tour guide for making this noble vision of a dynamic, learner-centered school system an ultimate reality." -- Larry Ainsworth, Author of "Common Formative Assessments 2.0" and "Rigorous Curriculum Design" "Deeper Competency-Based Learning takes the current caterpillar state of education, where we are beginning to recognize that individualized, personalized learning is key in student success, and provides the wingsthe tools and guidance necessary to transform the caterpillar into the butterfly. This book is not a quick fix for a classroom problem. It is a transformation of educationthe transformation that is critical to meeting students where they are, guiding them through the learning challenges of both academic and interpersonal/intrapersonal skills, and then confidently preparing students for what lies ahead." -- Miriam A. DeCock, EdS, High School Language Arts Instructor "Finally, a primer on competency-based education that understands that every school is unique in the same way that every student will take personalized pathways as he or she learns! The authors provide a comprehensive guide for districts and schools to use in plotting their journey to competency education. One thing that makes this book so valuable and unique is that it is rooted in effective practices identified in John Hatties Visible Learning research. This is a book that you can trust to help you chart your course." -- Chris Sturgis, Co-Founder "Hess, Colby, and Josephs new book, Deeper Competency-Based Learning, is nothing less than extraordinary, timely, and necessary as the nation questions the validity of traditional educational systems and their impact on student achievement and potential. Business and industry must respond to ever-changing advances in technology and information if they are to remain competitive; however, the nations traditional education system has remained stagnant until now. This book reveals a teaching and learning instructional model known as competency-based education (CBE), which predominantly focuses on students mastering competencies through performance-based tasks, projects, and collection of evidence of learning. Students learning is made visible to them and the power of a CBE system becomes exponential for optimizing student potential. This book is enlightening, proactive, and much-needed for student learners in the 21st century. Kudos to all educators who empower students to learn through competency-based educational systems." -- Angelique Hamilton, Project Administrator, Curriculum and Instruction "It is clear to me that this new book will be a major step forward for US educators seeking to transform their systems of teaching and learning to one that provides equitable and practical access for every student. As the authors point out in the introduction, the work of transforming to competency-based education is complex, requiring major shifts away from the conventional organizational structures of schools and away from many less-effective teaching and learning structures towards student-centered classrooms. This approach is just right: Competency-based education requires major changes organizationally, however, these shifts must be grounded in transformed experiences of the learner and also of the teacher in the classroom first, and each additional change must support that experience through new structures and reformed culture." -- Paul K. Leather, Director "I recommend this book for anyone looking to begin or continue your work around competency-based education in your district. This is an easy to read, comprehensive guide to implementation with resources, examples, and several entry points." -- Kelly VanLaeken, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment

Karin Hess, author of the Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrix, is a former classroom teacher and school administrator with over 40 years of deep experience in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Dr. Hess is recognized internationally as a leader in developing practical approaches for using cognitive rigor, depth of knowledge, and learning progressions as the foundation for curriculum design and assessments at all levels of assessment systems, from developing local assessment systems to state-level grade-level standards and test specifications for large-scale state assessments. Over the years, she has contributed to Maines early thinking about how to structure requirements for assessing high school graduation exhibitions and has provided technical assistance to Science Exemplars in the development and annotation of K-8 science performance tasks (www.exemplars.com), to the Center for Collaborative Educations Quality Performance Assessment (QPA) initiative, and to Benchmark Educations Ready to Advance curriculum for Pre-K, using learning progressions in curriculum and assessment design. Her most recent publications include a chapter in the second edition of Fundamentals of Literacy Instruction and Assessment, Pre-K6 (Hougen & Smartt, Eds., Paul Brookes Publishing, 2020) and A Local Assessment Toolkit to Promote Deeper Learning: Transforming Research into Practice (Corwin, 2018). Karins ongoing CBE work has included guiding the development and implementation of New Hampshires K12 Model Competencies and supporting school districts throughout the United States in creating and analyzing the effective use of performance scales and high-quality performance assessments for competency-based learning.
