"The
beauty
and
professional
appeal
of
competency-based
education
(CBE)
is
that
it
emphasizes
more
than
just
academic
success;
it
places
equal
value
on
the
vitally
important
element
of
students’
personal
success.
InDeeper
Competency-Based
Learning,
co-authors
Hess,
Colby,
and
Joseph
have
created
a
richly
detailed
CBE
roadmap
that
any
school
system
can
confidently
follow
to
significantly
transform
their
classrooms
and
make
a
greater
impact
on
student
learning.
Helping
educators
make
the
often-challenging
shift
from
the
traditional
teacher-centered
instructional
model
to
the
learner-centered
model
can
become,
for
readers,
an
exciting
journey.
This
powerful
book,
illustrated
with
chapter-specific
tools,
resources,
and
educator
examples,
is
your
trusted
‘tour
guide’
for
making
this
noble
vision
of
a
dynamic,
learner-centered
school
system
an
ultimate
reality."
"Deeper Competency-Based Learning takes the current 'caterpillar' state of education, where we are beginning to recognize that individualized, personalized learning is key in student success, and provides the wings—the tools and guidance necessary to transform the caterpillar into the butterfly. This book is not a 'quick fix' for a classroom problem. It is a transformation of education—the transformation that is critical to meeting students where they are, guiding them through the learning challenges of both academic and interpersonal/intrapersonal skills, and then confidently preparing students for what lies ahead."
"Finally, a primer on competency-based education that understands that every school is unique in the same way that every student will take personalized pathways as he or she learns! The authors provide a comprehensive guide for districts and schools to use in plotting their journey to competency education. One thing that makes this book so valuable and unique is that it is rooted in effective practices identified in John Hattie’s Visible Learning research. This is a book that you can trust to help you chart your course."
"Hess, Colby, and Joseph’s new book,Deeper Competency-Based Learning,is nothing less than extraordinary, timely, and necessary as the nation questions the validity of traditional educational systems and their impact on student achievement and potential. Business and industry must respond to ever-changing advances in technology and information if they are to remain competitive; however, the nation’s traditional education system has remained stagnant until now. This book reveals a teaching and learning instructional model known as competency-based education (CBE), which predominantly focuses on students mastering competencies through performance-based tasks, projects, and collection of evidence of learning. Students' learning is made visible to them and the power of a CBE system becomes exponential for optimizing student potential. This book is enlightening, proactive, and much-needed for student learners in the 21st century. Kudos to all educators who empower students to learn through competency-based educational systems."
“It is clear to me that this new book will be a major step forward for US educators seeking to transform their systems of teaching and learning to one that provides equitable and practical access for every student. As the authors point out in the introduction, 'the work of transforming to competency-based education is complex, requiring major shifts away from the conventional organizational structures of schools and away from many less-effective teaching and learning structures towards student-centered classrooms.' This approach is just right: Competency-based education requires major changes organizationally, however, these shifts must be grounded in transformed experiences of the learner and also of the teacher in the classroom first, and each additional change must support that experience through new structures and reformed culture."
"I recommend this book for anyone looking to begin or continue your work around competency-based education in your district. This is an easy to read, comprehensive guide to implementation with resources, examples, and several entry points."
