Competency-based education meets students where they are academically, provides students with opportunities for choice, and awards credit for evidence of learning, not for the time students spend studying a subject. The Foundation asked RAND to evaluate these efforts in terms of implementation, students' experiences, and student performance. This report presents final results from that evaluation, offering an overview of competency-based education and the Project Mastery grant projects and describing the implementation of competency-based educational features under each project. The report concludes with six lessons for policy, partnerships, and practice."--Publisher's description:http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR732.htmlCompetency-based educationEvaluationUnited StatesPoor childrenEducationEvaluationUnited StatesEducation, Special TopicsHILCCEducationHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCCompetency-based educationEvaluationPoor childrenEducationEvaluationEducation, Special TopicsEducationSocial SciencesSteele Jennifer L846004Steele Jennifer LPQKBBOOK9910219972103321Competency-based education in three pilot programs : examining implementation and outcomes1889662UNINA
