The Competency-Based Education Consortium has\u00a0collected narratives about the CBE journey of institutions in Texas and beyond. While there is no one best practice for anything, it is useful to learn from the experiences of those who have successfully walked down this path before. In the case studies presented here, the subject matter experts expound on the best practices for setting up, sustaining, and scaling up a competency-based education program.<\/p>\n
