Competency-Based Education introduces educators to a new model for anytime, anywhere schooling and provides tools and curriculum resources for redesigning the traditional structures of K-12 schools. Based on pioneering work across multiple states, this book shows how educators can design central elements of competency-based education (CBE)--including performance tasks, personal learning plans, and grading systems--to meet the needs and interests of all students. Rose L. Colby provides a much-needed resource at a time when states, districts, and schools are experimenting with new accountability systems that include evidence of learning beyond standardized tests. "Rose Colby's book is a masterpiece offering a comprehensive resource and in-depth analysis on the transformation of learning possible with competency-based education. She provides a beacon for educators designing the future of education and offers new hope that our industrial-age education system can be remodeled based on a future-focused vision--one where all children can learn, grow and succeed." > "Rose Colby has provided us with a definitive framework to guide our implementation of competency-based education. This book does a masterful job of offering an overview of the vision for CBE, but more importantly, provides a practitioner's view of the needed steps to transform our school districts. With this work, Colby has offered a guided tour to any educational leader focused on student mastery." > "Competency-Based Education offers an extensive and thoughtful collection of samples, examples, and case studies that can serve as a very useful guide to implementing CBE. Educators driven to engage each and every student should use this for creating a culture of CBE in their community." > Rose L. Colby is a competency-based learning and assessment specialist, Talent Cloud Fellow for 2Revolutions, and lecturer in the Educational Leadership Program at Plymouth State University.
