Competency X

Del Lago Academy is one use case that shows the potential of alternative credentialing (or digital badges) for reforming assessment in the digital age. If you're a K12 professional, a funder, or a education technologist that's been following the conversation on Badges for Learning, you don't want to miss this conversation. Alec Barron is the lead behind Competency X, a project that's already engaged teachers, local industry, and higher ed in a serious conversation about how competency-based practices, along with strong software platforms, can change the efficiency and effectiveness of school-supported pathways for youth to meaningful, prosperous futures in San Diego County.Links from this episode:Del Lago Academy: https://www.dellagoacademy.org/Portfolium: https://portfolium.com/Competency X: https://www.competencyx.com/BIOCOM: https://www.biocom.org/s/Fleet Science Center: https://www.rhfleet.org/Digital Badge Summit: https://badgesummit.weebly.com/Palomar College: https://www2.palomar.edu/Miramar College: https://www.sdmiramar.edu/Pharmatec: http://www.pharmtech.com/Assessment for Learning Project: https://www.assessmentforlearningproject.org/Education Design Lab: https://eddesignlab.org/Nicole Pinkard: http://www.sesp.northwestern.edu/profile/?p=1049&/NicholePinkard/Center for Collaborative Education: http://cce.org/Reimagining College Access: https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/project/reimagining-college-access Hosted on Acast.
