“Edsby Destinations has expanded the frontiers of assessment with a clear focus on learning outcomes, the inclusion of observations, conversations, and performances in the evidence mix, and the extension of student information beyond the timespan of the class. Most innovative is how Edsby balances traditional teacher-centred approaches with the potential for full student engagement in the assessment process."
-Jeff Catania, co-author Rebooting Assessment, and author Flourishing Classrooms
"When assessment is used primarily as a means of communication, rather than judgement, students become key participants in their own learning. Edsby Destinations enables communication throughout the learning process that involves the teacher, student and parent. This is a powerful innovation."
-Damian Cooper, consultant Plan Teach Assess, and co-author Rebooting Assessment
"For years, competency-based learning has struggled to feel authentic. Edsby Destinations has changed that by making the messy part of learning—the drafts, the videos, the 'aha!' moments—the star of the show. It honors a 'Culture of Joy' by celebrating the journey of getting there, not just the final destination.”
-Dean Shareski, Author Embracing a Culture of Joy, Podcaster, Consultant and Speaker
“Edsby Destinations offers schools a clear, equitable way to define what matters most in learning and to communicate student progress toward those outcomes in a way that is meaningful and actionable for educators, students and families.”
-Brian Stack, Author, Partner at V & S School Solutions and Superintendent of Schools for SAU 83 - Fremont in New Hampshire
"This platform invites teachers and students to reflect together, notice patterns and make decisions moving forward. Because the goals, evidence, and progress are connected and in one place, meaning-making is possible, which holds powerful potential for teachers and students. The learning journey is ongoing and reflected in documentation, moving away from a less healthy "completion" mentality. There’s real potential here to support equity, student reflection, and better conversations about learning."
-Katie White, Author and Educational Consultant
