Download Report: Quality Principles for Competency-Based Education
This publication builds off of the early ideas introduced in the paper In Search of Efficacy: Defining the Elements of Quality in a Competency-Based Education System, developed for the 2017 National Summit on Competency-Based Education. After a series of revisions building on input from experts and practitioners in the field, we have authored this book to advance quality frameworks for competency-based education. Please see the summary report from the Summit, Quality and Equity by Design: Charting the Course for the Next Phase in Competency-Based Education, which seeks to advance K-12 competency education along four key issues: quality, equity, meeting students where they are and policy.
We deeply appreciate the input from the summit participants listed in the appendix and the following members of the Technical Advisory Group on Quality for their insights in developing the ideas presented here: Jan Bermingham, Elaine Berry, Mandi Bozarth, Harvey Chism, Carisa Corrow, C. Wesley Daniel, Theresa Ewald, Pat Fitzsimmons, Amy Fowler, Cynthia Freyberger, Thomas Gaffey, Laurie Gagnon, Jim Goodell, Renee Hill, Sue Lanz, Paul Leather, Kathleen McClaskey, Joy Nolan, Alfonso Paz, Karla Phillips, Alexandra Pritchett, Jeff Renard, Tom Rooney, Bror Saxberg, Andrea Stewart, Circe Stumbo, Vincent Thur, Jonathan Vander Els and Glenda Weber.
