ADVANCED STATES
States with clear policies in support of competency-based education and established roles in building educator capacity in local systems for competency-based education.DEVELOPING STATES
States with pilots for competency-based education, and/or credit flexibility policies for school districts to transition to competencyeducation.
EMERGING STATES
States getting started with task forces; some state policy flexibility requiring waivers for systems to shift to competency-based education. NO ACTIVE POLICY IN CBE States focus on seat-time credits without competency-based pathways. WE ARE NOW THE AURORA INSTITUTE. After 17 years of driving educational change under the names NACOL and iNACOL, the time has come to create a forward-reaching identity that reflects all of who we are and all of what we do.OUR STORY
