Rolling Out Competency-Based Education: A Purpose-to-Practices-to-Proof Approach
Why move toward competency-based education? Because ownership and agency are impossible without clarity. When students clearly understand what they are expected to learn and when educators use assessment evidence to guide next instructional steps, learning shifts from coverage to mastery. In this webinar, we will explore how to move from a clearly articulated purpose to aligned programs and practices to measurable proof of impact across schools and systems using the Marzano Mastery Approaches.
The session will outline how districts can:
· Clarify and communicate a compelling purpose for CBE
· Identify the guiding principles that drive decision-making
· Design aligned practices across instruction, assessment, grading, and reporting
· Distinguish between implementation evidence and impact evidence
· Engage boards, families, teachers, and community members in meaningful dialogue throughout the transition
Leaders will also be introduced to practical tools and resources that support the journey from domain-level planning structures to stakeholder communication strategies, ensuring implementation is thoughtful rather than reactive.
