249: A Close Look at Competency-Based Learning
About this lesson
We talk a lot about differentiating instruction, measuring growth, and preparing students for the real world, but how do you actually do that in a system still driven by grades? Maybe you need a new model altogether. In this episode, we're exploring an approach to school called competency-based learning. I'm joined by three educators — Susie Bell, Heather Messer, and Beth Blankenship — who show us what this model actually looks like in classrooms. They share real teaching examples, how they assess growth over time, and how the Mastery Transcript Consortium (https://mastery.org/) supports this work. Thanks to Zearn (https://zearn.org/) and EVERFI (https://cultofpedagogy.com/everfi) for sponsoring this episode.
