Competency Based Education Forum

The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) and Illinois Center for Specialized Professional Support (ICSPS) are pleased to support a Virtual Forum on Competency-based Education (CBE). The purpose of this forum is to provide professional development to interested institutions on competency-based education. This workshop will start with an overview of competency-based education, led by Charla Long at C-BEN.

Other sessions include the national community college landscape and research by AIR and local implementation sessions by community colleges implementing CBE from around the country. In particular, the forum will assist participants in understanding what competency-based education looks like in practice, how it can advance equity, and what opportunities are available for support for the system.
