About this title

Synopsis

In K-12 education's growing movement of competency-based education and personalized learning, both contradictory and overlapping definitions come up around these two terms. To clear up this confusion, A Handbook for Personalized Competency-Based Education delves into the components of a personalized competency-based education (PCBE) system.

This handbook explores approaches, strategies, and techniques that schools and districts should consider as they rethink traditional instruction to fit a PCBE system and support student learning. The authors share examples of how to use proficiency scales, standard operating procedures, behavior rubrics, personal tracking matrices, and other tools to aid in instruction and assessment.

Benefits

• Receive clear guidance on implementing a personalized competency-based education (PCBE) system.
• Determine what content to focus on and what standards to prioritize in personalized instruction.
• Read vignettes that illustrate the shifts that should occur to foster PCBE.
• Learn how a flexible PCBE learning environment of student agency can foster self-efficacy.
• Understand the variety of assessments available for measuring student proficiency in a PCBE system.
