Competency-Based Learning Deep Dive
Learn how to shift your assessment practices to focus on growth, clarity, and meaningful evidence of learning.
Included in this course is a 20-page workbook to help you design a competency-based learning experience. As you complete each module, you'll gather examples, tools, and resources to implement the backward design process, utilize performance and iterative-focused formative assessments, and support learners in reflecting on and sharing their learning journey. This course will also help you define your assessment and grading practices, focusing on a standards-based or competency-based approach.
Whether you are new to teaching or have a deep practice of designing competency-based learning experiences and assessments, this course will provide you with the strategies you need to take the next step in your learner-centered journey.
At the conclusion of this course, you will walk away with three key outcomes.
Design Backwards: I design learning experiences and assessments aligned to desired learning outcomes.
Use Assessment FOR Learning: I frequently use formative assessment strategies to support the learning process.
Tell the Story of Learning Over Time: I support learners in understanding and reflecting on their progress towards learning outcomes and goals over time.
“Excellent course that cuts right to the heart of facilitating collaborative learning. Laser-focused with a ton of resources.”
“For those struggling to identify effective group dynamics and establish accountability in those groups, regardless of the learning methodology being utilized, this course will enhance your tool belt and improve your confidence in eliciting meaningful and authentic learning from all students.”
“This was one of the most productive asynchronous courses I've taken. It was a good mix of learning, examples, and taking action to help my class this week (or next). I want to review it again through the lens of adult learning to help me better shape professional learning for teachers at my school.”
