Youth athering perspectives from a representative sample of learners was especially crucial to the development of reDesign’s Future9 Competencies, because Data Gthey are written in student-facing language that names what learners are able to do Highlights throughout each level of every skill progression. We wanted to hear from the reDesign Youth Advisory Council of students from around the U.S. and Canada about the relevance and utility of our competencies framework, and how it aligned with their future goals for their growth and learning, as well as their current schooling experience. On average across our Youth Advisory Council, the number of competencies that participants rated as “very important” was 7.67 out of the total nine. Their responses about the extent to which the nine competencies are taught in their current school indicated that at least for secondary students, some competencies will support or extend current learning, while others will fill in a significant gap in holistic, future-ready skill development.
