Goal Commitment is a student’s determination to achieve a particular goal. Goal commitment is especially important when the goal is both specific and difficult to accomplish.

Inquiry-Based Teaching is the practice of allowing students to drive their learning through generating their own questions and seeking to develop answers through processes that involve gathering evidence, analyzing the data from that evidence and drawing conclusions based on their findings. Students demonstrate their understanding through the process of investigating the questions they have, as well as completing projects that allow them to experience learning through inquiry.

Interleaved Practice involves designing and implementing a schedule of practice that mixes different kinds of problems or material within a single learning experience. For example, teachers can include addition and subtraction problems on a math task to engage students in both types simultaneously. Interleaved practice is similar to how we prepare athletes like in basketball practice where players practice many skills such as shooting, dribbling, and passing all within the same session.

A playbook for school administrators to engage their students and staff in consistently deep learning experiences aligned with Utah's Personalized Competency Based Learning initiative.

Not all written competencies are created equal! As educators, we’re all striving towards creating competency-based learning experiences for students - and the first step in that process is creating a set of high quality competencies that are observable and assessable. The Mastery Transcript Consortium works with our members who’ve built and shared competency sets with our network of schools. This interactive session will support you in building high quality competencies using field-tested design principles that you can take back and apply to your own design process back at school.

How do you know if you are moving the needle with personalization based on evidence and scalability? It's not about putting all kids in front of a device at the same time on an adaptive learning tool to collect data. It's about a fundamental shift from the what to the who to emphasize personal ownership of learning in alignment with high agency strategies and differentiated supports. Join practitioner Nicki Slaugh from Quest Academy Junior High School and trailblazer Eric Sheninger for an exploration of proven strategies on how to improve outcomes through personalization. They will share how site-based actions combined with job-embedded coaching have resulted in evidence-based approaches that can help you improve PCBL or take it to the next level.

Join Kareem Farah (CEO & Co-Founder Modern Classrooms Project), Joey Lee (Chief Learning Officer LiFT Learning), and Erin Ashley (Director of Academics TNTP) as they explore the implementation of personalized, competency-based learning (PCBL) at the classroom, school, and system levels.

Join USBE's Michael Hakkarinen, Katie Hill, and Jennifer Throndsen as they kick off the first-ever Magellan Summit and introduce Utah's updated PCBL Framework.

Empowering students to take ownership of their learning requires that we give students more voice and choice in decisions that impact them at every level of the school. To support learner agency, we need to shift from making decisions ‚for students to making decisions ‚with students.
In this session, you will consider how you can create ongoing opportunities for students to be involved in decisions that impact them from making choices during daily lessons to leading change initiatives in your community.
Facilitator: Erin Ashley, Director of Academics at TNTP
TNTP (The New Teacher Project) is a national nonprofit organization committed to ending the injustice of educational inequality by providing excellent teachers to the students who need them most and by advancing policies and practices that ensure effective teaching in every classroom.

Too often, documentation of learning is seen as a burden, and is most commonly used as an accountability measure. When documentation is used for the purpose of learning, and embedded in the natural flow of work, it transforms into a learning superpower.

Tired of rigid, teacher-centered classes that pass students along without regard for competence? Tired of hearing the buzzwords without a clear picture of how teacher practice can change? Learn from the founder and CEO of the Modern Classrooms Project about how to make a classroom work for all students through effective practices in blended, self-paced, mastery-based instruction.

This session will highlight the partnership between North Sanpete School District and Marzano Research. Presenters from both organizations will describe PCBL design decisions and the process used to arrive at these decisions. In addition, Marzano Research will share their perspective on system change and the conditions and prcocesses necessary for change to occur.

This session will explore the connections between PCBL and Technology and how technology can support each other. Feel free to grab our session material at this link:
