Next Generation Credentials: Rethinking the High School Diploma
|
The typical student walks away from their K-12 education with a high school transcript – a laundry list of all of the courses they took in high school and the grades they earned in those classes. But these static documents have never truly captured the full breadth of what a student knows and is able to do upon leaving high school, let alone be helpful for continued learning after.
We know that every learner will take their own path in life, and it certainly doesn’t end after high school. Each student’s journey is unique – where they develop new skills and deeper levels of expertise on foundational skills.
Join this interactive overview of innovative alternatives to the traditional high school transcript, along with state policy recommendations on designing next generation credentials as outlined in our new publication, Going Beyond the Traditional: Next Gen Credentials and Flexible Learning Pathways.
