Making the case with data

The field of personalized, competency-based learning is growing quickly, and so is the body of data that supports the impacts and outcomes of student-centered and competency-based approaches to teaching and learning. Our searchable data library contains actively curated research from established and emerging evidence sources including: formal studies, evaluation reports and evidence collected directly by schools and state leaders.
