CBC learning check-ins
Competency-based assessment is strongest when it follows learning continuously and uses more than one way to see progress. Certifiedge brings twelve complementary check-ins into one clear journey so teachers can notice learning in action, learners can reflect on their own growth, and families can understand useful feedback without being overwhelmed by technical language. The twelve check-ins are Certifiedge’s organizing model for multiple assessment modes; official school and national assessment requirements remain authoritative wherever they apply.
Twelve complementary check-ins
Not every learning area needs every check-in with the same frequency. A teacher can mark a channel as required, optional or not needed for a particular assessment journey while the full structure remains visible and governed. This keeps assessment broad enough to respect different kinds of competency without forcing artificial tasks that do not fit the intended learning outcome.
See what the learner already understands before deciding what support or challenge will be useful next.
Notice how knowledge, skills, attitudes and values appear during authentic classroom, practical or collaborative activity.
Let listening, speaking, discussion and oral explanation become valid ways to show understanding when they fit the learning outcome.
Use focused questions to check important knowledge and understanding while there is still time to respond with useful feedback.
Invite reasoning, comparison, justification and extended responses so depth of understanding can become visible.
Watch the learner carry out a practical task or performance in an authentic or safely simulated setting.
Follow planning, investigation, problem-solving, making, presentation and reflection across a meaningful project.
Bring selected work together over time so growth, quality, application and improvement can be discussed from real examples.
Capture what changed in the learner’s thinking, what challenged them and what they want to try next.
Help the learner notice strengths, gaps, goals and strategies so assessment also develops self-directed learning.
Recognize collaboration and constructive peer feedback while keeping final assessment authority with the responsible educator.
Review learning across a meaningful period using several sources of evidence instead of reducing the learner to one isolated test.
Feedback that helps learning move
A meaningful assessment record should help the learner understand what went well, what still needs attention and what action would improve the work. Certifiedge therefore supports descriptive feedback, learner reflection, observations, project evidence and educator review instead of treating a raw score as the whole story. Moderation is recorded without erasing the original judgement, so important decisions can be reviewed transparently.
Fair access without lowering the intended standard
Where a learner needs support, Certifiedge can record practical arrangements for setting, presentation, timing, response, scheduling or assistive technology. These arrangements describe how the learner accesses the assessment and do not turn medical information into front-facing assessment content. The intended competency stays clear while educators retain responsibility for applying the school’s approved inclusion and assessment rules.
Sign in to see an assigned assessment journey, descriptive feedback and the next learning steps that have been shared with you. Parents and guardians can view a linked child only after the relationship has been verified, and school staff see learner information only inside their authorized organization workspace. This keeps the experience useful without making private assessment records public.
