Imagine a classroom where every student learns at their own pace, achieving mastery in skills and knowledge before moving forward. This episode  discusses the transformative potential of Competency-Based Education (CBE) in our K-12 public schools, demonstrating how this approach caters to individual learning styles and paces. hi delve into CBE's historical roots, its resurgence in response to global competitiveness, and the urgent need for student-centered learning. CBE paves the way for all students to receive tailored support, thus ensuring their success.

The road to educational revolution isn't without its bumps. In this episode, I tackle the complexities of implementing CBE, from assessing intangible qualities like creativity to the danger of a 'just enough' mentality. Yet, amidst these challenges are shining examples of success. I also stress the importance of information literacy and parental involvement in the CBE movement, highlighting how these elements are crucial for fostering critical thinking and advocating for change within our educational system. Join me as I unravel how CBE can redefine the future of learning—one competency at a time.
