2021, Washington launched the Mastery-based Learning Collaborative (MBLC) Demonstration Sites Project, informed by insights from national experts, peer states, and local community input. This report, prepared by the State Board of Education (SBE or “the Board”) as tasked by the legislature in Sec. 502(2) of 2023 Senate Bill (ESSB) 5187, highlights findingsand recommendations coming out of the multi-year MBLC demonstration sites project and discusses the Board’s work to address key aspects of the recommendations outlined in the 2020 and 2021 Mastery-based Learning Work Group 1 reports. Finally, the report addresses required elements of recent legislation (2025 Senate Bill [SB] 5189), tasked to the Board, which supports the implementation of competency-based education 2 (synonymous with mastery-based learning 3), including recommendations on the adoption of a competencybased transcript and a process to identify and designate schools implementing competencybased education (CBE) and identify associated costs.  \nIn the CBE or mastery-based learning (MBL) model, students advance as they master content at their own pace, measured through meaningful, positive assessments tied to state learning standards. Students take active ownership of their learning in a culturally responsive, equitable educational environment and receive differentiated support based on their interestsand needs, with clear, transferable learning outcomes and rigorous, shared expectations.  \nThroughout the project, MBLC schools reported annually on their progress, shared best practices, and documented impacts related to post–COVID-19 learning recovery. Over four years, the project supported two cohorts, comprising close to fifty (50) schools through funding, professional development, coaching, and participation in a statewide learning network. Findings in this report are drawn from comprehensive self-reported student, teacher, and administrative data compiled by national experts in several annual evaluation reports4 and year-end school reports from Cohort 1 and Co","cbCaid77RcGZZrtQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid77RcGZZrtQ","pdf",3621199,59,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction and Background\n# MBL Demonstration Project Structure and Activities\n# Literature Review and National Research\n# MBL LC Project Findings\n# Discussion and Board Recommendations for Continued CBE Work\n# Board Recommendations on CBE (Senate Bill 5189)\n# Conclusion\n# Appendix A: Comparison with the Existing Standard Transcript\n# Appendix B: Yearly CBE Designation Process Cost\n# Appendix C: SB 5189-Competencies Development Process","[{\"question\":\"What legislative requests does the report address?\",\"answer\":\"The report is prepared in response to Senate Bill 5187 (2023 ESSB 5187) and Senate Bill 5189 (2025 SB 5189), directing the Board’s work on competency-based education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe mastery-based learning or CBE?\",\"answer\":\"Students advance by mastering content at their own pace using meaningful, positive assessments aligned to state learning standards, supported by culturally responsive and equitable learning environments with differentiated support.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence does the report use to draw its findings?\",\"answer\":\"Findings are based on comprehensive self-reported student, teacher, and administrative data compiled by national experts across multiple annual evaluation reports and year-end school reports from Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 schools (2021–2025).\"},{\"question\":\"What recommendations are included regarding continued CBE work?\",\"answer\":\"The report provides Board recommendations tied to ongoing CBE implementation, including adoption of a competency-based transcript and a process to identify and designate schools implementing CBE along with associated costs.\"}]","Mastery-based Learning Collaborative Legislative Report - December 2025 | PDF",1792064473,149]
