Introduction to Competency-Based Education: The Why and Fundamentals

Facilitator: Mary Adams In Competency-Based Education (CBE), "mastery" isn't just a goal; it's the requirement for moving forward. This session introduces the learner-centered model where students progress only when they demonstrate a deep mastery of specific skills, regardless of how long it takes. We’ll discuss the core philosophy, benefits, and challenges of the CBE for students and institutions. This session breaks down the core pillars of CBE. Participants will examine the benefits of flexibility and personalized pacing, illustrating how these elements empower students to take ownership of their learning journeys. By the end of the session, attendees will have a foundational understanding of the "why" behind CBE and the essential components needed to build successful programs at EKU. This session was presented as part of the Teaching and Learning Innovation series at Eastern Kentucky University on February 23, 2026.
