Department of Education Launches Competency-Based Education Grant Application

In 2012 Senate File 2284 approved competency-based education (CBE). This year House File 215 provided $100,000 to be used as grants to districts/schools participating in a collaborative effort toward CBE pathways for their students and a framework toward statewide implementation. 

District/schools awarded these grants will become the Iowa CBE Collaborative. The Collaborative will engage in collaborative inquiry to investigate, develop, and implement competency-based educational pathways for their students and create a framework to guide the statewide implementation of competency-based education.

Applications are being accepted through Friday, September 27 for districts and accredited non public schools interested in becoming part of the Iowa CBE Collaborative.

Application documents are available at http://tinyurl.com/IA-CBE-Application.

If you have questions, please contact the Sandra Dop, Director of the Iowa CBE Collaborative, at Sandra.Dop@iowa.gov.
