Students at the Center Research and Data Hub provides evidence and resources on personalized, competency-based learning. The document discusses that personalized learning allows for learner agency, flexible assessments, timely student supports, competency-based curriculum, and varying pacing. Research cited found that students using personalized practices gained more in math and reading over two years, with students starting behind catching up. Other research found students exposed to proficiency-based practices had higher engagement. A school using these methods increased graduates from 48 to 62 with male graduates of color rising from 22% to 50%.
