Breaking With Tradition: The Shift to Competency-Based Learning in PLCs at Work (Why You Should Switch to Student-Centered Learning for All)

Synopsis

In Breaking With Tradition: The Shift To Competency-based Learning In Plcs At Work, Authors Brian M. Stack And Jonathan G. Vander Els Assert That K-12 Education Has Long Concentrated Too Much On System-centered, Not Learning-centered, Approaches To Education. As A Result, Society Has Lost Focus On The True Purpose Of Schooling: Learning For All. Stack And Vander Els Present K-12 Administrators, School Leaders, And Teacher Leaders With A New Model Of Learning, Which Replaces Traditional, Ineffective School Systems With A Competency-based Model That Sets Learning At The Center Of Schooling And Supports Teachers To Foster An Environment That Is Both Personalized And Student Centered. Using This Model To Modernize Curricular, Instructional, And Assessment Frameworks, Educators Can Improve Their Students- Engagement In And Ownership Of Learning, Leading To Greater College And Career Readiness.
