This just in – Education Week Headline – N.H. Schools Embrace Competency-Based Learning
You can read all about it here. Â The article says this is
“one of the most aggressive statewide efforts in the country to embrace competency-based learning. In New Hampshire, this means saying that accomplishment doesn’t depend on how long students are in their seats, but whether they can demonstrate that they know their stuff.
“It means letting students learn academic content in new ways. It means agreeing on what constitutes mastery, and holding all students to it, instead of letting some earn diplomas with weak skills. It means figuring out multifaceted ways for students to show what they know, and, ideally, it means letting them progress toward mastery at their own pace”
What more can I say. Â Read the rest of the article and spread the word. Â
