MO Board of Education Supports Reviewing Learning Model Based Upon Competency

The Missouri Board of Education has thrown its support behind the review of a competency-based learning model. Currently, the state’s K-12 education system is set up to go by chronological age and time in class. State Education Commissioner, Dr. Margie Vandeven, explains what competency-based learning is.

Vandeven says those who finish high school earlier could maybe then have access to higher education or work-based opportunities.
