The Competency Collaborative community of schools aims to be:
Youth-Centered. Culturally responsive-sustaining. Competency-based.
Feedback is clear, timely, and and actionable. Students focus on next steps toward independent proficiency. Grades are neither rewards nor punishments. Instead, a grade is a message about where the learner is at a point in time, along the path to proficiency. This is a more fair and clear way to organize learning.
Teachers design a responsive arc of learning that builds toward independent proficiency via inquiry, collaboration, academic discussion, peer feedback, cognitive coaching, and presentation. Students’ performance drives instruction. Assessments are rich, varied opportunities to show what learners know and can do—not just one-and-done high stakes tests.
Families and caregivers can be more in
the loop on children's progress. They get frequent, transparent feedback on how to understand, discuss, and support learning. A competency-based approach helps all stakeholders to go “beyond the grade” to discuss the learning process with young people.
Schools in NYC are shifting to create more equitable learning cultures. The CC’s active community of 75+ member schools seek to make academics and school culture more equitable, youth-centered, and culturally responsive and sustaining.

The New York State Mentoring Program follows a research-based model of mentoring in which Mentors and Mentees meet one-to-one in a supervised environment at a set time and location. Mentors serve as our partners in schools, courts and the foster care system. This format not only allows for the volunteer mentors to properly manage their busy schedules, but also provides much needed consistency to the mentoring relationship.

We have been improving on giving actionable next steps, but we have been working with students to understand. We have created game like boards to pilot with specific tasks for students to be able to visually see where they are and where they are going.
