In this webinar, participants will learn about the systems and structures of personalized competency-based education that can support the development of learners’ self-efficacy, so they recognize they have the ability to shape lives better, giving them the power of hope.

Do you want all of your learners to be inspired? Do you want them to believe they have the skills and knowledge to control their lives—whatever they choose? Competency-based education (CBE), focusing on clarity of outcomes, evidence of student learning, and feedback for improvement can help teachers, schools, and districts do just that.

Standards-based education is becoming more and more common across the country. The approach is typically implemented at the school level. When it is, the school leaders support the change and are deeply involved in adjusting practices, processes, and policies to support the work. But what about the individual teacher or small group of like-minded teachers who wish to implement a standards-based grading approach in their classrooms but still adhere to the school or district’s traditional requirements?
