The traditional system of education is failing our students. Evidence shows competency-based education (CBE) develops empowered learners who succeed, but effective implementation requires a systemwide, coordinated approach. Competency-Based Education Ignited offers school and district leaders a road map for successfully transitioning to CBE that involves actionable stages and a plan for creating a student-centered learning environment.

This book will help K–12 school and district leaders:
• Understand student and teacher perspectives in a successful competency-based learning system
• Take advantage of CBE implementation knowledge rooted in decades of experience
• Examine essential questions to guide understanding in each chapter
• Gain insight into the fundamental shift from covering material to facilitating true mastery of content and skills
• Discover how a CBE system boosts student engagement and helps students create, deploy, and navigate their own learning
