New Opportunities to Advance Personalized Learningin the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

States have an opportunity to replace or enhance current assessments with better assessment systems that measure:

• complex demonstrations of mastery • integrate multiple points of learning evidence, and• provide an accurate picture of each student’s learning trajectory

Teachers and support staff then can respond with customized supports and interventions.


• Less federal waiver and regulatory authority, more flexibility for states

• Maintains annual assessments in grades 3-8, once in High School in Math and Reading/ELA

• Moves away from high stakes accountability

ESSA: Key Differences from NCLB


• Greater flexibility for States on Assessments and Accountability.

• Ending “Highly Qualified Teacher” and “Adequate Yearly Progress”

• Flexible funding for Personalized Learning and Education Technology

What is Competency Education?

• Students advance upon demonstrated mastery.

• Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower students.

• Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students.

• Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs.

• Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include application and creation of knowledge, along with the development of important skills and dispositions.


Competency-based pathways are a re-engineering of our education system.

“We have essentially been trying to fix the

students so that they fit our conventional

architecture of grade-level determined

curricula. But the system can no longer be

fixed. We should ask ourselves if the time

has finally come for us to transform or

fundamentally rebuild the system that

supports student learning.”

Does education currently teach and assess these skills?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in ESSA

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), federal K-12 education law and now defines and endorses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a scientifically-based approach for personalized learning and building learner agency.


Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Based on Neuroscience and How we Learn

Universal Design for Learning developed by CAST (www.cast.org)

Proving Performance vs. IMproving Learning

Performance Orientation Learning Orientation

Students learning same material at same time.

Learning driven by learner’s goals.

Students focus on tests and grades. Performance linked to effort and progress.

Students placed in grade level based on age and earn letter grades “to pass.”

Learners progress through levels based on performance and demonstrating mastery.

The pace of learning is directed by the teacher, technology, or curriculum.

Learners accelerate the pace of learning through goal setting, voice, and choice.
