CBE IN CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES!

Since 2021, a cohort of Community Colleges throughout California have been collaborating to develop their own Direct Assessment - Competency-Based Education (DA CBE) Associate Degree Programs. The screenshot to the right shows the eight pilot colleges and the programs they are designing using DA CBE. “ As a multi-year initiative, these colleges came together to establish local structures as well as inform statewide policies and regulations to support the systemwide development and implementation (emphasis added) of DA CBE .” PUHSD is leading the way...having made the shift to Competency-Based Education in our high schools enables our students to have a solid understanding of the learning and assessment tools to utilize after high school. These CBE programs are continually evolving throughout the State and the Nation, expanding not only in Community Colleges but also within four-year institutions.
