innovation is required in five dimensions:
More innovative learning models and networks, particularly for high schools (XQ, NewSchools, and NGLC grantees are a good start);
Competency-based learning platforms, gradebooks, badge and portfolio systems;
Quality guidance systems that ensure equity and access.
Mastery-based transcripts that allow students to more fully share their capabilities with postsecondary institutions and employers;
State policy that advances a relevant graduate profile, makes room for innovation pilots, and articulates a quality outcome framework (see the CompetencyWorks report Fit for Purpose).
