Competency-Based Education is Changing Mainstream Learning [Infographic]

Beth Dichter's insight:

As Common Core comes into play, you hear more and more people talking about competency education. A competency education allows students to progress at their speed. Students must demonstrate mastery of content, which are based on  objectives. Teaching truly becomes more personalized when you consider competency education.

This infographic explores competency education, comparing it to traditional education in three areas: curriculum, class completion, and average time to graduate.

Additional sections include:

* What a competency-based experience looks like

* The most common competency fields of study

* Benefits of competency based education learning

* Where to find competency based education

Although this infographic is published by a college the information is applicable to K-12 education.

Nursing education, at pre and post graduate level, is largely founded in competency based education. This infographic is a great overview of this process and the benefits of implementing competency based assessment.

"Are you a forward-thinking educator interested in starting an innovative K-12 next generation learning program, initiative, or school…or moving your current program to the next level? If you are, you have probably been looking for that one-stop resource to help you start the planning and designing process. Well, look no further!"

Beth Dichter's insight:

iNACOL (the International Association for K-12 Online Learning) and NGLC (Next Generation Learning Center) have partnered and published a resource that will help you:

* Understand what next generation learning is

* Gain a working knowledge to help you design an approach that will work for your school

* Understand how to insure quality and have continued improvements

Why design a new toolkit? 

"To be prepared for life and work today, students need their learning to be personalized, flexible, interactive, engaging, relevant, self-paced, constantly-informed, collaborative, responsive, supportive, challenging but achievable, and available."
