The “ins and outs” of 2024 is a spin on New Year’s Resolutions and a new viral trend. In this CompetencyWorks blog post, we expand on the content discussed in our \u201cCoffee Talk\u201d On February 13th.<\/a> This analysis of the latest trends shaping CBE and the broader education field highlights what (we hope) is gaining traction (“Ins”) and what (we hope) educators and stakeholders are moving away from (“Outs”).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Long gone are the days of teachers being the only leader in the class \u2013 let 2024 be the year we truly recognize it! As represented in the <\/span>OECD’s Learning Compass 2030<\/span><\/a>, empowering students with the skills and opportunities to use their agency can enable them to develop and showcase competency in essential skills relating to creating new value, reconciling tensions and dilemmas, and taking responsibility. A culture of agency helps young people to thrive and also serves the broader learning community who supports and loves them \u2013 we all are more likely to be successful when we feel confident in our abilities to accomplish our goals. Students are whole human beings brimming with potential, and there are many ways you can develop and unleash student agency inside and outside of your learning environment, particularly with the flexibility of a competency-based environment. <\/span>Agency by Design: An Educator\u2019s Playbook<\/span><\/a> offers a framework and many practical moves to get started. From innovative work-based learning initiatives to meaningful student internships, dive deeper into the world of student agency with us!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve long known that it is time to move beyond the traditional system based on the \u201cCarnegie unit,\u201d which uses the credit hour or \u201cseat time\u201d as a way to measure learning based on the time spent in a classroom. Last year the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> it is seeking to rethink the Carnegie unit that it created back in 1906: \u201cIt is time to fundamentally rethink how learning progressions and mastery are demonstrated, the methods of measurement used, and how attainment of skills is communicated throughout a learner\u2019s journey.\u201d Carnegie Foundation is pursuing this endeavor through various partnerships including one with our nation\u2019s big testing company, ETS (Educational Testing Services). The collaboration aims to better assess a range of both \u201cacademic\u201d and \u201cnon-academic\u201d skills needed for success to move away from time-based units of learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIN: Providing Opportunities for Student Agency<\/span><\/h2>\n
