The International Big Picture Learning Credential (IBPLC) is a capstone secondary credential built on the founding Big Picture Learning principles that learning is most rigorous when it is relevant to the learner and when the learning happens in relationship with a more knowledgeable mentor in an authentic context. Warranted by the University of Melbourne and Big Picture Education Australia, the IBPLC documents learning using diverse sources of evidence including some often excluded in systems prioritizing conventional standardized assessments. The IBPLC includes a psychometrically warranted progression level score on each of 6 learning goals, a curated digital portfolio, teacher narrative statement, student achievements, and a student video introduction. Now accepted for admissions considerations by more than a dozen Australian universities and increasingly adopted in schools across the United States and other countries, the IBPLC affirms the value of purposeful learning and educator judgment in assessing what young people can do and know.
