Are you interested in learning more about competency-based education (CBE)? If so, then the MIT Teaching Systems Lab has the perfect opportunity for you! Competency-Based Education: The Why, What, and How is a six-week online course covering CBE’s potential for closing opportunity gaps as well as the challenges faced by schools implementing CBE models.
