<p>Here you will consider your own context through the lens of one or more CBE models or tools. If you take a look at these tools, you will notice that each has a primary audience. Also, keep in mind these tools represent a particular perspective on CBE.</p>
<p>1. Briefly <strong>scan at least two</strong> of the tools below and <strong>select the one that best aligns</strong> with your own context.</p>
<h3>K-12 Schools</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="/assets/courseware/v1/302f91b3bce18273ee2307dee5c79cc1/asset-v1:MITx+0.502x+1T2019+type@asset+block/Ohio_CBE_Pilot_Self-Assessment_Tool.pdf" target="_blank">Ohio’s Competency-Based Education Pilot Self-Assessment Tool</a>: This tool is meant for self-reflection to determine readiness and/or capacity to implement competency-based education. </li>
<li><a href="https://www.greatschoolspartnership.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/CO-Competency-Based-Learning-Self-Assessment.pdf" target="_blank">Colorado Competency-Based Learning Self-Assessment </a>(Great Schools Partnership): This tool is meant to be a self-assessment to help schools envision where they are on a continuum of CBE implementation, from "initiating" to "developing" to "performing," across several dimensions.</li>
<li><a href="http://digitalpromise.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CBE-Framework-updated-2017.pdf" target="_blank">What Do Districts Think About When Implementing CBE?</a> (Education Elements): This isn’t a rubric; instead it is meant to be a list of things to consider. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Higher Education</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.cbenetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1st_button_CBE17016__Quality_Framework_Update.pdf" target="_blank">Quality Framework for CBE Programs</a> (Competency-Based Education Network): In-depth look at eight elements of high quality competency-based education meant to provide guidance to institutions of higher education about CBE implementation. Learners can assess where their institution is in regards to each element.</li>
</ul>
<p>2. <strong>Take some notes in response to the following questions: </strong></p>
<ol></ol>
<ul>
<li>Based on a review of the elements in the tool you selected, what have you learned about the current status of your school or organization regarding CBE implementation? </li>
<li>Are any aspects of CBE already well-developed in your context?</li>
<li>Is there one aspect of CBE implementation that seems especially challenging or untenable considering your context?</li>
<li>Are there aspects that seem exciting or aspirational? Are there aspects that seem like realistic possibilities for your school?</li>
</ul>
