Digital Promise, a national nonprofit organization authorized by Congress, and Education Elements, an education company, yesterday released several free resources that are designed to help districts through competency-based education (CBE) implementation.

First, the “Competency-based Education Toolkit” catalogs a year’s worth of actionable advice and lessons learned from district leaders within the League of Innovative Schools, a national network of K–12 district leaders. The toolkit also includes a video series that showcases the power of competency-based education, cross-district collaboration and open education resources from leaders in several school districts.

The following districts are highlighted:

• Franklin West Supervisory Union (VT);
• Fulton County Schools (GA);
• Kettle Moraine School District (WI);
• Lindsay Unified School District (CA);
• Pascack Valley Regional High School District (NJ);
• Piedmont City School District (AL);
• Seminole County Public Schools (FL);
• Sitka School District (AK);
• Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (UT); and
• Vista Unified School District (CA).

The CBE toolkit was made with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is freely available to every district through an online portal.
