North Dakota Personalized, Competency-based Learning Cohort Schools/Districts

Beginning in 2018, a select group of schools and districts signed on to receive personalized, grant-funded technical assistance from national non-profit KnowledgeWorks, a variety of other national partners, and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. Each committed to a five-year journey of systems transformation through a cohort model.
