The world is evolving rapidly, implying that the jobs of tomorrow, the socio-economic problems, and the technologies we will have to interact with, will no longer exist. However, faced with all these problems, we must continue to evolve our approach to teaching and learning. By measuring and monitoring students' 21st Century Competencies we can adapt to the future of education.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Our key objectives is to develop and deploy cutting-edge educational technologies that help students thrive in an ever changing world. Through our online platform, BE transforms education by empowering students globally with 21st-century competencies. We provide insights for for 12 competencies to transform education and learning.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Before taking the assessment, teachers and schools are trained on the theoretical foundation of the model and the importance of 21st Century Competencies. In addition, our team helps to oversee the technical integration to create the platform to deliver the assessments in a seamless way.

Students take a 20-30 minute assessment that includes some questions on basic demographics, a social desirability scale, and the 36 questions to measure the competencies. At the end of the test, students immediately receive their customized reports. Once all the students have completed the assessment, our research team produces customized reports at the school and/or organizational level that provides a summary of the student results, statistical tests, interpretation of the data and possible recommendations.

How has it been spreading?

We have been working through referrals of school leaders and other educators. Likewise, educational foundations, curriculum providers, and other partners are using our assessment to help monitor and impact their own SEL curriculum.
