Please join us in congratulating these two on this exciting accolade!

 

PCBL MASTER TEACHER CADRE NEED TO KNOWS:

Rigorous application process which included recommendations from the educator’s superintendent/direct supervisor.

 

The PCBL MTC will be divided into cohorts across the state led by seasoned educators with vast experience and knowledge in this area.

 

In total, approximately 40 hours of learning will be completed between February and June through a combination of pre-work/self study, four in-person sessions and a series of virtual sessions.

 

WHAT IS PERSONALIZED COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING?

Competency-Based Learning is an educational model that focuses on students demonstrating mastery of skills and knowledge, rather than just spending a set amount of time on a subject. It’s about ensuring students truly understand what they’re learning. There are eight essential elements when implementing personalized competency-based learning in the classroom. To learn more about the Missouri framework for PCBL visit https://www.srsnmo.org/page/compentency.

 

WHAT IS THE PCBL MASTER TEACHER CADRE?

Participants will deepen their understanding of personalized competency-based learning and learn how to enhance classroom practices to design powerful, student-centered learning environments. As they engage with the content, they will build a collaborative network of educators dedicated to refining their craft.

 

By the end of the program, participants will have developed the expertise and leadership skills to serve as a mentor and resource to colleagues, guiding them in the effective implementation of PCBL. These educators will be prepared to take on supportive professional development roles within their districts and across others, expanding the impact of PCBL and benefiting both teachers and students across their schools.
