Competency-based Education Pat Trotter – KDE Barren River Area P-16 Council Meeting August 28, 2013
Based on mastery of content and skills
Project-based learning is not necessarily COMPETENCY-BASED learning
Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual interests and learning needs
Competency-based education systems should include out-of-school programs.
“The more a student exhibits curiosity, which is rooted in interest, the more he or she can focus on, bring effort to, and engage in meaningful tasks” Expanding Minds and Opportunities
