Implementing competency-based education strategies: From research to practice (REL Midwest)

This Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest webinar showcased how competency-based education (CBE) strategies can positively impact student learning outcomes and how to create structures for effectively implementing CBE strategies. A senior researcher from the American Institutes for Research presented an overview of a study that examined the relationship between CBE practices and students’ learning skills, behaviors, and dispositions. Participants also heard from two Illinois high school leaders about their experience implementing CBE instructional strategies, including challenges and lessons learned. Finally, representatives from the Minnesota Department of Education discussed how the Department is supporting state-approved alternative and online learning programs that use CBE.
