I joined the academy in 2023 to strengthen my understanding of how life skills and values can be assessed and nurtured, so I can better support other ALiVE members and stakeholders.
The sessions have been highly engaging, practical, and reflective—encouraging open sharing and peer learning. I have gained clarity on key concepts and can now confidently explain life skills assessment processes in ways that resonate with educators. The products developed by teams in the Academy have been especially helpful in my facilitation work.
What I appreciate most is the Academy’s vibrant community of scholars and the facilitation style that values every voice.
The experience has expanded my professional capacity and shifted how I approach assessments beyond academic outcomes. Personally, I have become a better listener, collaborator, and advocate. I am proud to be part of a learning space that is not only enriching but also inspiring real change in how we educate for the future.
