A 2017 Medium post from the Office of Educational Technology laments the lack of clarity about the term “personalized learning”: “The lack of a consistent definition and language for a relatively complex idea has hampered both understanding and effective implementation,” the article states. Enter the silos.
But one question left unanswered is how does competency-based education seamlessly mix or align in an environment where students are completing personalized lessons using a learning management system (LMS)? They explained their goal was to perfect competency-basedlearning and grading first, and then begin blendinglearning.
Slope of Enlightenment: Competency-BasedLearning. Alongside personalized learning are a whole heap of concepts that some have declared are a necessary part of personalized learning. Competency-basedlearning is one of these. But there is a phrase for that: deeper learning.
It turns out young adolescents are extremely capable of engaging in self-paced, blendedlearning. Similar to the flipped classroom, the model is an approach based on blendedlearning, self-paced instruction, and mastery-based grading. In fact, the traditional way of teaching was what wasn’t working for us.
Starting something in these areas means that, by definition, there is typically more upside than downside because the alternative is that students will have no other options. From this base, Chesapeake High School, for example, is experimenting with blendedlearning throughout the school and allowing teachers more freedom to innovate.
I most definitely didn’t plan a project to have something like the superhero project culminate before every parent-teacher conference—that would feel forced. How to integrate social emotional learning —plus a guide to SEL. How to implement blendedlearning —plus a guide to blendedlearning.
The program follows six key tenets: project-basedlearning, learner agency, whole person development, blendedlearning and competency-based assessment. The district uses a competency-based scale where grades are broken down into standards for each subject.
Many people want to know how what blendedlearning and the personalization of student learning are and how they look in implementation. Student learner pathways are customized based on students’ strengths, weaknesses and goals; and learning experiences vary. Subscribe to our BlendedLearning newsletter.
We’ve discovered that the five-part working definition of competency education developed by 100 innovators six years ago hasn’t protected us from misunderstandings. Remember: Students are always at different places in their learning. I implemented blendedlearning last year and my students are now able to advance upon mastery.”
I would argue that the principles laid out in the book are critical for moving to competency-basedlearning, as you need strong, clear, and consistent standards-based grading (SBG) practices to get there. Breaking with Tradition: The Shift to Competency-BasedLearning in PLCs at Work by Brian M.
Discover The purpose of the discover phase of this project was to help leaders and educators from the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Education Initiative develop an understanding of competency-basedlearning. Colorado eventually adopted the InspirED platform, calling it Colorado ConnectEd.
The practice of funding public schools and assessing student engagement based on a student’s physical attendance is rooted in this definition and has only reinforced what is an outmoded idea. Still others choose online learning because it can present a safe haven from bullying or other social pressures found in traditional schools.
We may go back and add brief definitions links to great content that then clarifies and extends these items with thinking, frameworks, strategies, and tools, because some are admittedly confusing in name-only. “Flipped-class” learning. Face-to-Face Driver blendedlearning. Rotation blendedlearning.
This isn’t antithetical to blended or student-centered learning; if Loveless thinks it is, I recommend he visit one of the KIPP LA elementary schools. Second, Loveless assumes that because students may learn these things at different times in a blended-learning world, that it will exacerbate the achievement gap—a legitimate worry.
