The magic of Building 21 is that they’re able to help leaders make practical moves to make competency-based education a reality. They make it actionable and real.

I would recommend Building 21 to any district—whether your teachers don’t even know what competency-based learning is, or you’re further down the road and ready to innovate and do something outside the box. They’re prepared to support the full journey, and meet you where you are.

Building 21 are true leaders in competency-based education. They’re not just talking about it — they’re doing it in real schools and building tools others can actually use. They’re the only partner I know who is both incredibly smart about the field and completely adaptable to your context.

What I appreciate most is how generous they are with their resources. It’s unique. Most vendors don’t share like that.

What sets Building 21 apart is their humility and their personalization. Not only do they have a way to personalize learning for students, they do that for us as a school. They understood us at a deep level, and gave us the personalization we were looking for.

Their partnership is what got us where we are. This wouldn’t have happened without their frameworks, their partnership, and their tools to help us report it out–all in a student-centered way.

Building 21 is my north star in creating competencies.

Building 21 has been a continual source of knowledge and guidance as we've worked through the innumerable strategic decisions necessary to implement the CBE change...I would say it was simply their expertise and willingness to be available and guide our leaders and staff through the "thinking process" that as most impactful.
