Legally Defensible Learning For Good
When dozens of students failed their state board certification exams, VALID-8 was there to support underrepresented learners and protect their careers.
Skills for All Learners
Traditional models of assessment are discriminatory. This well-studied fact often goes unnoticed, with limited recourse for learners that suffer through high stakes exams and tests.
In 2021, hundreds of learners used VALID-8 to reflect and demonstrate competency. Leveraging VALID-8’s ISO standard of competency not only supported their learning, it saved careers.
Dozens of these students failed their state board exam, and every single student had their failed test exams overturned. The Kicker: 100% of these students were newcomers.
You won’t discriminate when you use VALID-8.
Keeping a VALID-8 video portfolio enabled reflection and created evidence of contextual learner ability.
It also created a legally defensible outcome.
