Two Lenses, One Vision: Connecting Educator and Learner Frameworks
Personalized learning is a systems-level effort that must be experienced by students and practiced by educators. The Educator Competency Progressions and the Personalized Learning Framework provide two distinct but interconnected lenses for building learner-driven environments.

What might it look like to foster learner and educator agency simultaneously in my school or system?
How can I use these frameworks to support more coherence across teams, classrooms, or initiatives?
