Ignite! Competency-Based HS
Graduation Requirements Pilot
Friday, November 16, 2018

Competency-based programs assess and advance students
based on their demonstrated mastery of skills and knowledge.
The competency-based model removes the constraints of “seat
time” and allows for student-driven learning inside and outside
of the classroom. This approach can make education more
relevant both to students and to local employers.
