A new competency-based education (CBE) toolkit offers actionable advice from 10 school districts that shared lessons about their own CBE implementations.

The CBE Toolkit, from Digital Promise and Education Elements, is the culmination of more than a year’s work in the 10 districts and is intended to help other district leaders and teachers at any phase in the CBE implementation journey.

The CBE Toolkit was born out of the League of Innovative Schools, a coalition of forward-thinking district leaders. With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the League launched a toolkit that catalogues the thousands of hours and lessons districts across the country have learned in their individual districts.
