Welcome to the Durable Skills Learning Experience Accelerator (LEA) App! If you are an educator looking to embed Durable Skills into your learning experiences, lessons, units, and projects you’ve come to the right place. 

Trained with the Pathsmith™  Durable Skills Framework from America Succeeds and learner-centered strategies from Learner-Centered Collaborative, this powerful tool supports you to: 

  • Identify the right durable skills to pair with units and projects you are already planning
  • Define success criteria for the durable skills at your grade level
  • Plan ways to teach the skill, have learners practice the skill and demonstrate the skill with ideas for how to provide feedback
  • Embed learner-centered strategies into your daily practice to support learners in developing durable skills

More about the Pathsmith™ Durable Skills Framework: The Pathsmith™ Durable Skills Framework was developed by America Succeeds to bring clarity, consistency, and real-world relevance to the development of durable skills. It is a research-backed, employer-validated framework that not only provides a common lexicon, but also makes durable skills visible, teachable, and measurable at every stage of the learning journey. You can learn more about the framework here.
