Backpack is a student-centered, Google-based approach to student portfolios designed to help districts strengthen their teaching and learning practices by loosely aligning across grade levels to a set of core competencies — like content mastery, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and resiliency — that define the district’s big-picture goals for all graduates.

We're looking for a limited number of districts to launch with us in 2020. Set up an exploratory chat & demo with our team.

I have seen many interesting topics for #geniushour over the years, but this may be one of my favorites. How Victorian fashion transformed through the decades. Such great research paraphrased into her own words. #jcpslibraries #choiceandvoice #jcpsbackpack
