This post originally appeared at iNACOL<\/a> on January 11, 2017. Read Part 1 here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n In 2016, I was invited as an Eisenhower Fellow to the 2016 Colloquium on Competency-Based Learning and Assessment (CBLA) in New Zealand. This Colloquium explored competency-based learning and assessment systems and their impact on equity. Attendees built consensus and exchanged ideas on global education systems transformation and educational innovation for equity.<\/p>\n In part one of this series<\/a>, I highlighted New Zealand\u2019s educational research underpinnings, their move toward equity, how their cultural roots play a role and how a standards-based system is probably best suited to assessment for learning in real time.<\/p>\n Here are other takeaways from various leading New Zealand experts and thought leaders in CBLA and teacher judgment.<\/p>\n (K)new Approaches to Teaching and Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Assessing Literacy with ESOL and Newcomers<\/strong><\/p>\n New Zealand\u2019s Vocational Pathways: Relevance, Coherence, Clarity<\/strong><\/p>\n Youth Guarantee Framework<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Recognition of Prior Learning: A Case Study<\/strong><\/p>\n Trades in Education and the Impact of Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n CBT Project: Village Court Officials and Land Mediators: PNG<\/strong><\/p>\n Prediction:<\/strong> Disruption could happen by identifying mechanisms\/value \u2013 such as the direct value to learners or employers and quality of evidence (micro-credentialing).
