Competency Based Education... in 5 easy steps

Competency Based Education... in 5 easy steps | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From anethicalisland.wordpress.com - January 5, 2014 4:54 PM
Beth Dichter's insight:

As the Common Core tests becomes more of a reality there is also conversation about competency based education. We know that not all students learn at the same pace of in the same way and competency based education would address these concerns. This infographic by Mia MacMeekin provides  a great overview of the five steps to move in this direction:

* Define and state the goal.

* Design the path.

* Design authentic assessments for each competency.

* Add an array of content and discovery resources.

* Gamify the course.
Some additional information is found in the infographic.

Competency based education is a great idea but can it be used in a traditional classroom setting?

The Future of Learning, Networked Society - Ericsson

From www.youtube.com - October 28, 2012 10:53 AM

"Can ICT redefine the way we learn in the Networked Society? Technology has enabled us to interact, innovate and share in whole new ways. This dynamic shift in mindset is creating profound change throughout our society. The Future of Learning looks at one part of that change, the potential to redefine how we learn and educate. Watch as we talk with world renowned experts and educators about its potential to shift away from traditional methods of learning based on memorization and repetition to more holistic approaches that focus on individual students' needs and self expression." 
An engaging video that may raise more questions for you as a teacher, and about how we educate our students. There is also a short trailer for it at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmnv3Ecq_wE.&nbsp.

What We Lose with Personalization (Part 1)

What We Lose with Personalization (Part 1) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From blogs.edweek.org - July 16, 2012 9:49 PM

The concept of personalizing education has received more attention recently. In this post, Justin Reich explores the idea of personization and how it may impact education, with a focus on what he defines as "Moral #1 - that education for civic purposes cannot be personalized." He will have a second post for "Moral #2 - that (some forms of) personalization will optimize measureable outcomes at the expense of (potentially more important) non-measureable outcomes."

What are your thoughts on the personalization of education?
