Opening Activity: KWL

What do you know about CBP? What do you want to know about

CBP? What did you learn about CRP from

today’s session? What questions do you want to ask

Ben and Nicole about the German pilot?

Please fill out the post its and continue to add onto the KWL chart paper.

CBP

Essential Questions: What is competency based progression? What are the core components of

competency based progression? Learning Targets:

Explain CBP and its core components Examine learning’s profile and language

continuum Create a timeline outlining action steps

needed

Instructional Activity 1: Video Clips

Focus Questions: What did you notice? How did each school transform

education? Write notes about it.

Group Discussion

Share what you noticed and how they transformed learning

What additional questions do you have at this point?

Record 3 key ideas and share with whole group.

Instructional Activity 2:

Q and A Session with Ben and Nicole at 1:30PM Review questions

Instructional Activity 3: Jigsaw

Divide into groups Read the Article Text code Share a few of your text highlights As a group, chose 3 main ideas to

share

Instructional Activity 4: Examining Research and Pilots What is the definition of CBE? What models are there for CBE? What are the key findings/patterns? How can we synthesize this?

What is CBP?

Model 1: RISC (Marzano)

Shared Vision Standards-Based Design Leadership Continuous Improvement Developed with Marzano

Model 2: Personalized Learning (CESA 1)

Model 3:iNACOL

Students advance upon mastery Explicit and measureable learning

objectives Assessments are meaningful and

positive learning experience

What are the key findings? Students advance based on clearly

defined standards/targets Students have flexible learning paths Assessments must clear All stakeholders should be in support Leadership and legislation is needed Students take ownership New roles for teachers

How can I synthesize this? Am I ready to embrace this change? What do I need to prepare for this change? How do I help my students and their

families prepare for this type of learning? What resources and professional

development do I need? What will this look like in my classroom? How can I begin to create the key

components?

Instructional Activity 5: Examine Learning Continuum Examples

New Hampshire California Iowa RISC CESA 1
