Leading the Evolution: How to Make Personalized Competency-Based Education a Reality (an Educational Leadership Guide to Competency-Based Education fo

Now is the time to evolve from the existing model of schooling into one that is more innovative, relevant, effective, and successful. Leading the Evolution introduces a three-pronged approach to driving substantive change (called the evolutionary triad) that connects transformative educational leadership, student engagement, and teacher optimism around personalized competency-based education. Each chapter includes supporting research and theory, as well as clear direction and strategies for putting the evolutionary triad into practice.

• Understand the current state of education and why changing to a competency-based approach is imperative.
• Identify the instructional leadership behaviors that lead to the organizational and cultural shift necessary to transform the current education paradigm.
• Consider in detail all three points of the evolutionary triad: transformational instructional leadership, teacher optimism, and student engagement.
• Examine the central focus of the evolutionary triad: personalized, competency-based education.
• Explore educational leadership practices that support successfully implementing the evolutionary triad and learning competencies in schools.
