Competency-based professional learning keeps your people growing…
…while providing clear and measurable goals so your staff know what they need to do to be effective in their roles.
Clarity of Expectations
Giving your staff a clear understanding of the necessary skills to be effective in their roles ensures teachers, coaches, school leaders, and others can focus on improving their daily practice.
Flexibility & Relevance
Competency-based professional growth allows your teachers and staff to progress at their own pace and focus on the skills that are most relevant to their needs, keeping them engaged and motivated.
More Effectiveness & Efficacy
As your team gains new skills at deeper levels of expertise, they become more effective at accomplishing the unique goals and priorities that matter most to your school or district.
Measurable Growth
Instead of simple completion or attendance metrics, competencies give school leaders the opportunity to quantify and correlate professional growth data to learner data, showing its impact on student achievement.
Scaffolding your professional learning standards allows your staff to clearly see and understand what the progression of proficiency looks like in any role. This allows every person to start learning at their current level of experience and expertise and progress to deeper levels of implementation.
Staff should be empowered to choose and set growth goals on competencies based on self-reflection of their daily practice. This autonomy helps provide your team with more ownership over and involvement in the learning process.
Professional learning should lead to real, tangible growth. That happens when your staff incorporates what they are learning directly into the classroom or job role. GroweLab enables your staff to collect and document evidence of practice into their own growth portfolio that can be reviewed and verified by their coach or supervisor.
Students receive grades and praise for growth. Shouldn’t educators get something for growing also? How about some confetti?! With the badging and recognition system in GroweLab, leaders can be intentional about cultivating a positive culture of growth that educators love.
