The traditional education system is getting in our way. We can do better. It’s time we update our schools to be based on what we know is best for students and for learning. Modern schools start with students being active, engaged and motivated learners.
Founded by Chris Sturgis, co-founder of CompetencyWorks and a leader in competency education, LearningEdge is a free resource to get insights and resources as you begin to modernize your school.

What’s important is to build a shared vision and a shared understanding of how schools and learning experiences need to be designed for students to become lifelong learners with the know-how to apply academic knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems.
