“It was truly an eye-opening experience. I wasn’t really aware that there were really strong aspects and that there were aspects I needed to work on. This assessment put it in a really easy, visual way to see what aspects you needed to work on. Personally, I realized that critical thinking was an aspect I needed to work on. Knowing this, this helped me in various projects that I decided to do this year.”

“Finally, someone was interested in my 21st Century Competencies and the competencies that I was developing outside of school. Once I found out about my level in the competencies, I felt confident, because I had a good basis. This made me eager to learn more about these competencies and learn new skills.”

“This approach to thinking beyond our traditional constraints of school and learning and standardized testing, a framework that suggests it’s not just what we know that matters, in fact, that may matter less and less in an AI age, it’s who we become, how we apply what we know… using the BE framework was fundamental.”

“We could use a respectable tool, one that could give very objective results, reliable data, in a way that really complements all the formative assessments that we practice a lot with all the qualitative data that we already have. All of our community of students, educators, and families understood the importance of the partnership [with BE]”

“It provides you with a statistical analysis before and after a course. Upon seeing the results, I actually felt a lot better about myself. Instead of thinking that I’m not really good at a lot of things, it gave me an insight into how good I am at a lot of competencies. It gave me introspection and a reality check and an insight into things I needed to work on, improve, and what I’m already good at.”

“It’s very important to be able to measure 21st Century Competencies as well as academic competencies because what you measure you treasure, and we know that these competencies are as important,t if not more important, for our students’ future pathways.”
