  Leveraging Technology for Personalized Assessment/Instruction

Schools, students and parents need a flexible, open-source, web-based system that tracks and maintains student accomplishments. Portfolios are just one of the tools we offer all students as part of a comprehensive school-to-career system, FutureConnect. All middle/high school students are trained on building a comprehensive, web-based portfolio that includes information on their test scores, academic info, in-school and club achievements and career interests. The portfolios can be accessed by counselors, teachers, parents and others who want to provide individualized coaching to students. School staff can generate reports on student portfolio activity and break-out students by any criteria useful for identifying students who need extra help. Our system also includes an e-mentoring module and many tools students/parents can use for career exporation and job/college searches. Our open-source technology model makes FutureConnect efficient, flexible, effective and scalable.
