Participants: NPDL Impact: The NPDL global partnership research initiative supported work we were beginning in HPEDSB through the launch of HPE Graduate Competencies: Globally Minded Learners and Leaders resource document, supporting deep learning and innovative teaching and learning K-12. The launch of NPDL began with 3 secondary and 4 elementary schools, all of which had 21st Century learning as a focus in their School Improvement Plans for Student Achievement and Well-being. As a district, we tracked school conditions and system conditions along the new measures continuums. Teachers monitored student growth around the 6 Competencies (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Citizenship and Character).
