Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the shift to competency-based learning that allows educators to replace traditional, ineffective systems with a personalized, student-centered approach. It examines how the components of PLCs (professional learning communities) promote the principles of competency-based education and share real-world examples from practitioners who have made the transition.
