Passport for Good
Passport For Good is a mobile-friendly, student-driven engagement platform designed to capture and measure student’s experiences both in and out of the classroom. These include service learning and community service, extra and co-curricular participation, career development, projects, activities, and critical/emotional skills. Students can easily journal all of their activities and accomplishments, documenting their experiences and personal reflections, balancing out their academic transcript with a whole-child digital portfolio. The student-driven data captured in Passport For Good also provides school districts with real visibility into which students are actively engaged, how are they actually engaged and how are they feeling within the context of their experiences. This often helps schools make smarter and faster decisions regarding resource allocation, program efficacy and student intervention as they have a deeper insight into their student’s social and emotional learning in real-time. In addition, school districts that have been approved to provide the Civics Readiness Pathway can easily manage and measure the Seal of Civic Readiness within Passport For Good, as the platform automatically calculates the points associated with the approved rubric while allowing both students and educators to manage progress throughout the pathway. Please refer to service code 550.062 for full service details.
