EDU 491/591 Competency-Based Education (CBE) / Proficiency-Based Education (PBE)
Personalizing Learning with Competency-Based Education
In April 2021, the Montana Legislature approved funding to strengthen the preparation of the state’s educators to understand and implement proficiency-based/competency-based education. One of the ways to do this is by offering undergraduate and graduate level courses at NO COST.
That’s right, no cost to you. Students enrolled in a pre-service teacher preparation program in Montana OR current in-service teachers or school leaders can earn these credits for FREE.

Course Description
A multitude of schools, districts, and entire states, such as New Hampshire, are shifting away from the traditional, time-based, Carnegie model of instruction. These innovators, including some rural schools in Montana, are developing and implementing what the Federal Department of Education identifies as Competency-Based Education (CBE). CBE includes personalized, mastery, project-based, and blended and/or virtual teaching/learning. This course will introduce future and practicing educators to these various teaching/learning modalities and prepare educators to compete for employment in these schools and districts or prepare educators to implement these modalities in their own classes/districts.
