Learning Design for Broader, Deeper Competencies (MyWays Report 11)
Download ResourceTopics
We’ve all had the experience of truly purposeful, authentic learning and know how valuable it is. Educators are taking the best of what we know about learning, student support, effective instruction, and interpersonal skill-building to completely reimagine schools so that students experience that kind of purposeful learning all day, every day.
This report shares an overview of learner-centered paradigms, focuses on the growing importance of authenticity, and introduces three MyWays learning design constructs that support the broader, deeper competencies — Whole Learning, Wider Learning Ecosystem, and Levers for Capability and Agency. The report also offers resources to support initial moves toward implementation. (October 2017, 5MB)
Report 11 is the first of two reports in Part C of the MyWays Student Success Series. Part C, “Redesigning the Learning Experience for the MyWays Competencies,” explores how to bring the broader and deeper competencies of the MyWays Student Success Framework into educational practice, focusing on key constructs for learning design and assessment design.
The MyWays Student Success Series examines the through-line of four essential questions for next generation learning and provides research and practice-based support to help school designers and educators to answer these questions. The series consists of 12 reports organized into three parts, plus a Visual Summary and Introduction and Overview. For more on MyWays, visit myways.nextgenlearning.org
