In British Columbia, inspired and guided by Shelley Moore and her inclusionary efforts, a working group of school districts piloted a competency-based Individual Education Plan (IEP). This new IEP is to support the inclusion of students into a positive learning experience. Five years after this implementation phase, a mixed-method study can investigate what changes are noticed when a competency-based IEP is implemented, who notices these changes, and do these changes extend beyond the IEP design phase. It can investigate whether a competency-based IEP promotes a more inclusive learning environment and/or a more positive learning experience. Findings indicating a more inclusive and positive learning experience deserve comprehensive knowledge mobilization.
