The Mastery-based Learning Work Group released their latest report with recommendations to the legislature about how mastery-based learning (or competency-based learning) can be used in Washington to support student success.

Recommendations include consulting with parents and students who have been historically underserved by the education system, aligning further work with the Washington State Profile of a Graduate (outlined in the report), and more.

In less than one week, legislative session will begin in Washington State. This year, the Board will focus on a set of ambitious but important legislative platform priorities. They are to center student, family, and community voices in policymaking, and
prioritize student, plus educator social, emotional, and mental health. Also,
to advance educational equity, diversity, inclusion, and antiracism, and provide equitable access to relevant and engaging learning opportunities.

Learn more and follow our work this session on SBE's legislative page.

New data has been collected (survey and focus groups) for the second year of a three-year project that will inform SBE's understanding about the new high school diploma graduation pathway options.
