Dear John,
Our final episode of The 50CAN Education Talks lands today. In 2023, Carnegie's Tim Knowles told the 74 Million the foundation had begun revising the Carnegie Unit to promote greater innovation: "If we believe that learning, wherever it takes place, is important, then in order for that to take root at scale, we need to persuade parents first that the learning their young people are experiencing outside the schoolhouse is valuable. And is legible to the postsecondary sector if you’re applying to college. And legible to employers if you’re going more directly into the workforce. Everybody intuitively knows there’s enormous amounts of learning there. We need tools that can validate that learning."
For our final Education Talk, we have Andrew McEachin, Senior Research Director at ETS, which has partnered with Carnegie on the Skills for the Future initiative. In his talk, Andrew addresses the need for evolving assessments to support competency-based learning to help school systems move beyond seat time as the primary consideration for credit.
