Strategies to build competency-based practices

This book argues that competency-based practices are the key to creating school systems that meet students’ academic needs and prepare students to effectively communicate, collaborate, and self-regulate. With comprehensive coverage of competency-based practices and recommended steps to explore new approaches to instruction and assessment, Marzano Mastery Approaches provides readers with the tools to guide their schools through the necessary decision points for ensuring a profoundly improved and profoundly impactful educational experience.

K–12 school leaders can use this book to:

  • Consider seven key domains of implementation for competency-based education
  • Restructure assessment, grading, and reporting systems for mastery
  • Formalize student outcomes for academic content, cognitive and metacognitive skills, and the self-system
  • Personalize the teaching and learning process and encourage student agency in the classroom
  • Shift the roles of educators away from instructing content and toward facilitating learning

“This book is a valuable resource for anyone considering competency-based learning for their organization: from those in the initial stages of exploration to those who have begun reshaping how they approach education within their schools. This publication offers the most comprehensive road map, including critical decisions and insight into what to expect at each stage, by providing a review of relevant research alongside a discussion of the real-world outcomes and ramifications of implementing competency practices in schools.

Marzano, Zima, and Simms have compiled a comprehensive examination of both the research and critical considerations around implementing competency-based education. This guide includes considerations and extensive implications for assessment, instruction, grading, and professional development in a competency-based school, making it an essential resource for educators and administrators navigating this transition.”

It’s an indispensable guide for any school committed to continuous improvement and student success.”

“As always, the authors at Marzano Resources provide a balance of research and action that gives districts and schools direction to move forward toward student-focused education. Whether you are taking the first steps in refocusing away from traditional approaches or preparing to take on revolutionary ideas where each and every student show what they know and move at their own pace, the steps in Marzano Mastery Approaches provide a layout and framework to create an environment for student success. The seven domains in this book are presented with concrete examples of plans that work and can be adopted by schools and districts who are ready to focus on their students.”
