IMPACT
Scientific Rigor
We publish in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to leading scholarship in the field of social-emotional learning, supporting researchers and policymakers with evidence and insights.
Measuring What Truly Matters
The Compound Competency Inventory for the 21st Century (CCI-21) was developed by expert psychometricians and developmental psychologists to measure Character, Skills, & Meta-Learning. We believe and act on recognizing the agency of learners through self-assessment.
Transforming Education, One Competency at a Time
At BE, we have a mission-driven vision to transform education using 12 Competencies and 60 Sub-Competencies, and seek to contribute to scientific advancement through rigorous peer-reviewed publications.
Beyond Knowledge, Educating the Whole Human.
With over 300K students, and ongoing advances, BE continues to strengthen our evidence base as we connect with new and diverse partners.
These 3 dimensions complement the 4th Dimension, which is typically the only dimension taught in education: Knowledge.
Validated Through Science,
Proven in Practice
Our competency framework is based on the Center for Curriculum Redesign’s 4D Model, and our methodology has been published through 4 scientific research papers in independent journals. Our methods demonstrate strong performance across three core psychometric properties, ensuring robustness, validity, and the highest standards of scientific rigor.
The CCI-21 is aligned with global frameworks, including OECD Learning Compass, IB, & UNESCO. More importantly, we connect our framework to local school frameworks to make meaning and support transformation in a relevant and actionable way for our partners.
Sensitive
It can pick up on differences between people being assessed, even when they’re in the same context.
Reliable
It’s like a quality mirror: if you haven’t changed, your reflection shouldn’t change either!
Valid
Each question in the survey was carefully designed to connect with the competencies & sub-competencies we want to measure.
