In our mission statement, we state that we want students to master standards, lead by example and embrace social responsibility. Academic standards are an important part of our mission, and our Graduate Profile Competencies are another important part of our mission. As we continue along the path toward being a fully Competency-Based District, our academic standards will be integrated and will become a part of larger academic competencies, much like there are for Graduate Profile Competencies.

This website addresses Competencies and Standards, Mastery, Personalized Learning, Equity, Our Digital Data Dashboard, and our Competency Blog. Along with other resources, this site shares our vision of Competency-Based Education and our journey. 

"I think adventure is a choice..."  Dr. James Neihof, superintendent of Shelby County Public Schools, along with Susan Dugle, Chief Academic Officer, Lora Shields, Staff Developer, and Rebecca Martin, Director of Personalized Learning Curriculum share the story of the SCPS journey to Competency-Based Education.
