Overview

I designed competency-based learning systems from the ground up in two structurally different contexts. At Compass, I built a domain-and-degree-based model organized around four skill domains and eight competencies, with students advancing through four Levels of Autonomy based on demonstrated mastery rather than age or seat time.

At WonderED, I designed a mastery-evidence model where credit was calculated as Quality × Complexity of evidence across five flexible learning elements and three differentiated graduation pathways.

Both models were fully implemented, refined through years of real-world operation, and produced measurable outcomes: at WonderED, attendance increased from approximately 15% to over 90% and family engagement grew from under 5% to approximately 50%.

Key Outcomes

• Designed and implemented full CBL framework at Compass — four domains, eight competencies, degree-based progression — adopted school-wide

• Built WonderED’s mastery-evidence assessment system

• WonderED attendance: 15% → 90%; family engagement: under 5% → 50%

• Served as primary architect across both models; led through multiple iterations as feedback was collected versions

What This Demonstrates

• Competency framework design and systems architecture

• CBL implementation across in-person and virtual environments

• Learner-centered design for diverse populations and life circumstances

• Outcomes-driven iteration and continuous improvement

• LMS selection, implementation, and alignment to instructional model
