Students wrote a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama that advised him on how to handle foreign policy in Syria. A study on competency-based education in New Hampshire demonstrates that policy changes don’t always result in uniform change on the ground, and technology isn’t always ahead of schools. In a May report from the Clayton Christensen Institute, education research fellow Julia Freeland studied how competency-based education is changing in a state that’s adopted the motto “live free or die.” The report, “From Policy to Practice,” shows a variety of practices at different schools, an emphasis on personalized learning, technology infrastructure gaps, and increased state support for schools that are moving to competency-based learning.
