The concept behind competency-based education is simple: learning is best measured by students demonstrating mastery of learning, rather than the number of hours spent in a classroom. By redesigning the education system around actual student learning, we will prepare each student more effectively for a future in an increasingly global and competitive economy.

LEARNER-CENTERED EDUCATION
The four key principles of
student-centered learning —
drawn from the mind/brain sciences, learning
theory, and research on youth development —
are overlapping and complementary.
9. go2core.ai
4 KEY PRINCIPLES
1. Learning is PERSONALIZED.
Addressing distinct
learning needs,
interests, aspirations,
or cultural
backgrounds of
individual students.
10. go2core.ai
4 KEY PRINCIPLES
1. Learning is PERSONALIZED.
2. Learning is COMPETENCY-BASED.
An approach to education that
focuses on the student's
demonstration of desired
learning outcomes as central
to the learning.
11. go2core.ai
4 KEY PRINCIPLES
1. Learning is PERSONALIZED.
2. Learning is COMPETENCY-BASED.
3. Learning takes place ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
Learning takes place beyond the
traditional school day, and even the
school year. The school's walls are
permeable--learning is not restricted
to the classroom.
12. go2core.ai
4 KEY PRINCIPLES
1. Learning is PERSONALIZED.
2. Learning is COMPETENCY-BASED.
3. Learning takes place ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
4. Students have AGENCY and OWNERSHIP over
their learning.
Student agency refers to learning through activities that are
meaningful and relevant to learners, driven by their interests,
and often self-initiated with appropriate guidance from
teachers. To put it simply, student agency gives students voice
and often, choice, in how they learn.
