Students, advisory teachers, and coaches will share their experiences of the International Big Picture Learning Credential (IBPLC). In this new system, a shift toward competency-based assessment, students are not ranked against others, but are evaluated in terms of what they know, value, can do, or demonstrate, in and out of school, and over time. Students graduate with a meaningful, personalized credential that can be shared with prospective employers and further education providers.
