Students and parents want schools to give young people chances to think creatively, communicate effectively, and solve real problems. Employers and colleges want high-school grads who can organize time, work on teams, and confront complex tasks without giving up. These skills can be taught. They can be assessed. And classrooms become more equitable, dynamic, and personal when these skills are at the heart of all teaching and learning. In this session, we will work with resources that can be used to help schools build unified, competency-based systems for teaching transferable skills. Materials Presenters

Why are engagement, improved outcomes, and deeper learning so elusive despite the progress we’ve made to design competency-based systems and roll out personalization? Without a pedagogical framework that guides and supports the design of experiences that take advantage of such systems, we will fall short of the ambitious learning goals every one of our students must meet. During this session, we will share a framework that charts a path to greater engagement through relationships, classroom environment, complex thinking and student agency. Materials Presenters
