MULTIPLE WINS IN K-12
As a K-12 school, you may face a number of challenges – but you don’t have to do it alone. Credentialate meets many needs specific to the K-12 market, such as saving teacher reporting time, a dynamic 24/7 dashboard that increases visibility of learner progress for the learning team and digitising your portrait of a graduate. We work with your existing systems to help you scale quickly, with little or no change to your current practices.
Benefits to K-12 schools
Save Teacher Reporting Time
Teachers save reporting time with a dynamic 24/7 dashboard. They mark once and the results are instantly available to all stakeholdersa
Dynamic 24/7 Visibility
Parents/carers gain dynamic insight into their learner’s performance
See Learning Progression
Learners can view strengths and areas for development throughout the teaching period, and track their progress
Example use case
See how the Hunter School of Performing Arts (HSPA) has used the Learner Dashboard to support their mastery learning and give their learning community unparalleled insight into learning progression in Curriculum (syllabus outcomes), Cross Curriculum (soft skills such as collaboration and critical thinking), Co-curriculum, and Commitment to School Values.
“The HSPA Learner Dashboard fosters a gamified, growth mindset for learning. It provides students with authentic digital badges that they can keep and use throughout their lives, and gives parents comprehensive, real-time updates on learning progression at a glance.”
Credentialate drives K-12 innovation
The ‘Driving K-12 Innovation‘ report – published by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), identifies the hurdles, accelerators and tech enablers in 2024. Here are some of the specific areas where Credentialate has an impact: (Contact us to find out more)
Digitize your portrait of a graduate
To scale and be sustainable, your portrait of a graduate has to be digital. The good news is that technology enabling skills visibility is already here. Tech enablement enables graduates and learners at all levels to showcase all of the skills they have acquired through a variety of learning pathways.
Through the use of machine-readable data, combined with human inputs, educators, learners, and employers can access data about the learner’s progress and achievements 24/7.
Portrait of a graduate recognises all learning, and tech enablement is available with us.
How we do it
Automate reporting to learners and parents
Mark once and share key outcome results in real time with all stakeholders. This saves the need to mark in the learning management system (LMS), then share those results with the learner information system (SIS), then prepare a report for the parents (which is usually based on a generic template) before being able to engage in performance-based discussions with learners and their parents.
24/7 Learner Dashboard
Learners, parents, teachers and school administrators all have access and full visibility of each learner’s progress. Gone are the days of old school report cards – why wait till the end of term to learn how learners are progressing? Learners are motivated by peer gamification and are keen to progress to the next level. Parents don’t have to call the school or teacher asking for insights on learner performance.
Recognise progression towards mastery
Learner progression against different outcomes is traditionally reported after each teaching period, year, and multi-year stage. But in between these milestones, learners can show where they are at any given point along the way through a provisional badge. This gives learners credentials before they finish school that they can use to find work or other settings, and motivation to improve.
Give personalised teacher feedback
With Credentialate, teachers can intervene and provide feedback at an individual learner level, automatically, and based on marking the learner once, not multiple times in different systems.
Whole of learner recognition
Credential mobility
Scale and grow as your programs do
Credentialate is built from the ground-up to be rolled out at scale by seamlessly connecting with your legacy systems and platforms. It can expand with your needs. Schools can step through 3 key stages:
- Start simply by issuing digital badges
- Issue personalised learner evidence attached to the badges
- Provide a learner portal with dynamic updates to learner and parents
