Exploratory Grant Program

Overview

The Utah State Board of Education partnered with national experts and Local Education Agency (LEA) leaders to explore Competency-Based Education during the 2017-2018 school year. The exploration included a state workshop to build foundational knowledge, as well as site visits to national competency-based learning implementation sites. The visits yielded the Utah Competency-Based Education Framework, set the foundation for the grant program, and set the stage for Utah’s pivot toward Personalized, Competency-Based Learning (PCBL).
