Growing Educator Impact
Empowering educators with training and learning opportunities
Personalized, competency-based learning centers each students’ strengths, needs and interests and provides differentiated supports and ways to demonstrate what they know and know how to do. That can’t happen without educators and leaders making it possible.
We partner with educators and leaders in states and communities to help ensure the changes they are making are systemic, sustainable and prioritize equitable, future-ready outcomes for all learners.
Our team of former educators, principals and superintendents help you facilitate conversations and advance student-centered learning through:
- Crafting a shared vision that ensures community buy-in and shared accountability
- Developing a Portrait of a Graduate or a Profile of a Learner, identifying those skills, knowledges and dispositions graduates will need to succeed and allowing for meaningful measures of success
- Focus on culture, transparency and building agency for learners and educators
- Implementation of learner-centered practices
- Networking with other educators from communities across the country
- Creating competencies that foster equitable and essential curriculum
- Continual quality improvement along the way
A partner on the journey to personalized, competency-based learning
KnowledgeWorks partners with state, community, district, school and classroom leaders to deliver the right mix of opportunities focused on growing personalized learning practices for school leaders and staff. All KnowledgeWorks engagements, workshops and design labs are designed to help teachers meet each child where they are with high expectations for academic growth, social-emotional development and student ownership of learning.
We facilitate conversations, work alongside teachers to scale student-centered approaches and model the practices of a personalized, competency-based environment in all interactions. And when a design lab or workshop ends, we stay connected and available to give feedback on approaches or provide a different perspective.
KnowledgeWorks professional development workshops and technical assistance are delivered by our team of teaching and learning experts, including former teachers, principals and superintendents, and tailored based on educator needs and level of readiness.
Sharpening Your Skills
Implementing personalized, competency-based learning can be difficult, and often it means taking risks and learning as you go. But you can take more informed actions.
