Lunchtime Conversation: Competency Based Education in NH the Early Days

In April 2004, Franklin High School launched Campus Creations through its School to Work Program, an off campus store that allowed students to practice entrepreneurship while demonstrating essential skills. The students and teachers who started that store were also participants in an early pilot in Competency Based Assessment in NH. We’re going back twenty years to explore that story and reflect on other early work in Competency Based Education in NH.

Excited to have special guests, Patricia Prescott, who was the lead on the Campus Creations project and Rose Colby, who was an early thought leader in NH’s competency based education implementation.

NH Public School Teachers Talk About HB2 (Copy) (Copy)

Registration Closed

As the school year ended, the NH budget was passed an signed by Governor Sununu. While the budget is problematic on many different levels related to public education, most troubling is the language in 354-A:29 Right to Freedom from Discrimination in Public Workplaces and Education.

We’ve heard from many educators that they’d like a space to talk about this. While we have no solid answers about what this means for K-12 teachers next year, we can develop a list of questions and concerns, build community and start to identify how this language might specifically impact our students’ learning journeys, our schools and our communities.

While we know there are lots of organizers in NH and community members who are interested in this topic, we’d like to reserve this virtual meeting space for NH preK-12 public educators.
