nathan_stevens Jun 6 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Nathan and I am a huge fan of @Learn21Tech #edsurgechat

ZapEdu Jun 6 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1: Have a defined set of objectives or parameters, demonstrate that they can meet those objectives and move on to the next #EdsurgeChat

Learn21Tech Jun 6 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: school-wide indicators of Ss success/growth..our @HFAPgh Mindsets and a few others - also working on 80+ micro-creds #edsurgechat

jasoncummings1 Jun 6 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: clearly defined outcomes, personalized pace, outcome-driven feedback #edsurgechat

Learn21Tech Jun 6 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Competencies come in 2 forms: school-wide college/career readiness and then personalized for each Ss based on personal path. #edsurgechat

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Q1: CBE describes student progress in relation to skills (or standards), allowing Ss to recognize both strength+growth areas. #edsurgechat

jencurtis0345 Jun 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Really interested in this idea of "well-defined"--is there a misconception CBE is perhaps "fuzzy"? #EdSurgeChat

At @LevelUpVillage, we're focused on global competencies: the 4 C's of 21st Century Learning through a global lens. #edsurgechat

I think well defined for the school or district and even the Ss - not a fan of mass standardization #edsurgechat

nathan_stevens Jun 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 CBE is about watching the journey of learning and with certain waypoints the need to be hit #EdsurgeChat

In reply to @EdSurge

ElemEdDept Jun 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Students advance based on mastery; perf reqs are known in advance; time is flexible, learning quality is not. #rusdlearns #edsurgechat

A2.1 Ss not on T pace; assess/assign -ments come in varied. At first, extend or enrich with student interest to "fill in" time #edsurgechat

Q2: What are some of the challenges of moving towards a competency-based model in K-12? How do you solve them? #edsurgechat

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Archaic school structures, Ts & Ss too grounded w/ legacy workflows, & lack of implementation long enough to see results. #edsurgechat

Q2: What are some of the challenges of moving towards a competency-based model in K-12? How do you solve them? #edsurgechat

#edsurgechat - I would imagine that a big challenge w/ #CBE is parents - most are used to getting traditional grades, report cards, etc.

A2: teachers have trouble giving up control and the idea of not everyone is learning at the same rate. #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

Ed_Stories Jun 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

And measurement of success can be tricky, too. If schools adopt new models for assessment, parents need to be educated, too. #EdSurgeChat

A1 Emphasis is on skills instead of knowledge. Eval is of the attainment of milestones of competency #EdSurgeChat

In reply to @EdSurge

Not to mention, the bulk majority of #edtech is not CBE-friendly. Still trying to meet the needs of the past. #edsurgechat

Learn21Tech Jun 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT

some parents - we haven't seen that much pushback with our pilots #edsurgechat Ps need education and time.

In reply to @mjwints, @EdSurge

A5 Choosing which comp. to test is easy for me, but how to measure mastery is harder #EdSurgeChat

A5: we developed our competencies (Mindsets) based on feedback of workforce partners where skills gaps exist in our region. #edsurgechat

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 1. using formative assessments 2. Until it's literally mastered, hence multiple at-bats, loose timelines, & growth mindset #edsurgechat

Q5: How do you determine which competencies to test? How do you measure mastery? #edsurgechat

Rely more on formative feedback, visualize progress rather than results, reward application not accumulation of knowledge. #EdSurgeChat

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

I'm sorry, but this forced constraint that Ss must learn X by time Y is absolutely ridiculous. That's not in the spirit of CBE #edsurgechat

Many Ts are against including local industry bc it means we're teaching for job market not for higher knowledge #EdSurgeChat

jencurtis0345 Jun 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

this is a question i'm intrigued by. is tech needed to help with CBE assessment/organization of skills? or no? #EdSurgeChat

ZapEdu Jun 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: Technology can facilitate self-paced learning, can record, new tech can adjust curriculum for students based on competency #EdsurgeChat

Learn21Tech Jun 6 @ 8:52 PM EDT

I don't think Ts against it inherently by their hands are tied with policy #edsurgechat

In reply to @melrecherche, @ZapEdu

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6 for the most part, it has maintained status quo. CBE #edtech should focus on growth, rather than a static gradebook #edsurgechat

A6: #EdTech plays a key role - we're using google form right now; need to find right products to serve needs. #edsurgechat

A6 ICT for Ss to exercise before mastery, visualize concepts, comm. with more comp. peer, find information, view tutorials #EdSurgeChat

In reply to @EdSurge

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Certainly not, but given the time/resource constraints on Ts today, it's a must for true CBE + #plearning #edsurgechat

A6: #edtech can help Ts create more student-centered curriculum. Less linear, less reliant on the teacher. #edsurgechat

tech can't drive the initiative but it's essential to sustain and build capacity #edsurgechat

I think tech is essential for equity and access in CBE: makes training, communication, reporting, scaling, etc. easier. #EdSurgeChat

A6 ICT for Ts to keep track of assessments, give rapid feedback, suggest tools to help Ss attain goals #EdSurgeChat

In reply to @EdSurge

Yo_Mista Jun 6 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Let's be clear: #edtech can be an enabler, but also a disabler. Some Ts think giving Ss iPads is #blendedlearning, it's not #edsurgechat

EdSurge Jun 6 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A special thanks to @jcurtis0345 for a great discussion! #edsurgechat
