The International Baccalaureate (IB) and Melbourne Metrics have established a strategic partnership to explore competency-based assessment as a key lever to transform teaching and learning, working in tandem with traditional knowledge-based models to better capture the holistic development of learners.
The partnership brings together the IB's global community of schools and expertise in international education with Melbourne Metrics' leadership in educational measurement, research, and impact evaluation. Through this collaboration, both organisations will explore opportunities to deepen understanding of educational outcomes and support schools in making informed decisions that enhance learning experiences for learners.
The partnership provides a framework for collaboration in areas including research, data-informed school improvement, thought leadership, and the development of evidence-based approaches that support learners, educators, and school leaders.
The collaboration will enable both organisations to explore joint initiatives that contribute to a growing body of knowledge about effective educational practice. As global education systems continue to evolve, the IB and Melbourne Metrics share a commitment to supporting schools with rigorous research, practical tools, and actionable insights that help educators navigate complexity and create meaningful opportunities for learners.
