2. Vision
To create a holistic, multi faceted, and dynamic digital
representation of a student that exemplifies/showcases the
development and use of 21st century skills through their
academic learning, personal passion, personal experiences, and
reflection.
3. Mission
Our Mission is to present students with opportunities and challenges
for alternative forms of assessment that empower the learner to set
meaningful goals and think critically about all aspects of their
learning. A learning environment built around inquiry and problem
solving will require students to evaluate their progress toward goals
and learning standards. A culture of learning, as opposed to a
culture of work, will foster talking, thinking, and reflecting about
learning for understanding.
