As we expand our learning ecosystems through authentic real-world learning, we must also expand our systems of assessment. Real-world learning prepares learners to thrive in school, career, and life. But what are the skills and mindsets learners need to grow in order to thrive? And how is a learner’s growth assessed across formal and informal contexts of varying levels and complexities? This self-paced course introduces participants to competency-based learning, durable skills, and One Stone’s growth-based model of learning and assessment, the Growth Framework. One Stone’s Growth Framework equips schools and organizations with the tools to assess a wide-range of hard-to-measure durable skills. Utilizing a holistic 21st century learner profile, a dynamic assessment tool, and a comprehensive learner record, the Growth Framework empowers students to thrive in school, career, and life.
Participants will be able to . . .
Explore the core principles of competency-based learning
Measure and record learner growth over time
Assess mastery of both cognitive and non-cognitive skills and competencies in real-world contexts

Course participants engage with online learning modules hosted by Journey.do, a web and app-based learning platform developed by Arizona State University. While the asynchronous work is completed independently, each online module includes required opportunities for feedback and reflection with other course participants.
Once enrolled, each participant is paired with a One Stone mentor/coach to support their learning journey. One Stone mentors provide feedback on and publish participant’s module work, track participants’ progress, and are available via email and the Journey.do platform for questions. Mentors also host drop-in virtual office hours 1-2 times per month for synchronous conversations (other times available by request.)
All growth series participants are invited to monthly one hour virtual round table discussions. Round table discussion themes vary each month and reflect the interests of current participants. Discussion topics include competency-based learning, student case studies, transformative coaching, real-world learning, student-driven learning, experiential service, and more.
