Grateful to @RepPettersen for introducing this important bill!

[U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @RepPettersen]

Students learn at different paces & a one-size-fits-all education system ignores that.

I introduced the Empowering Learners Through Competency-Based Education Act with @RepGrothman & @RepBurgessOwens to create more options in higher ed and lower costs.

@CapellaU is proud to support this bipartisan bill, which recognizes the promise of CBE and creates a framework to responsibly scale innovative learning models!

[Center for Higher Education Policy and Practice @CHEPPtweets]

Thank you @RepGrothman, @RepPettersen, @RepBurgessOwens for introducing the the Empowering Learners through Competency-Based Education Act. Expanding access to CBE models would provide a greater range of flexible #highered options for learners. https://t.co/sPpoLlol0l

Great insight by @CCAPrezYolanda on how to think about ensuring students aren't wasting time/money/effort towards a degree. "Embracing approaches like prior learning assessment can ensure students are moving more efficiently through a degree program." https://t.co/4msUau6cSN
