Beacons

Competency-based learning for your school

Students build portfolios of real-world learning. Smart tools match experiences to curriculum expectations. Teachers verify evidence. Schools gain clear insight into student progress.

How It Works

A simple, three-step process that puts students in control of their learning journey

1

Students Submit Evidence

Students upload photos, documents, videos, or links documenting their learning from classwork, real-world projects, or personal experiences. AI suggests matching curriculum expectations.

2

Teachers Verify Learning

Teachers review submissions and confirm which skills are genuinely demonstrated. A simple yes-or-no approach keeps it straightforward with no complex rubrics.

3

Mastery Recognized

As evidence accumulates, teachers recognize mastery. Students, parents, and administrators see real-time progress across every curriculum strand.
