The Skills-Based Portfolio allows you to store, view, and manage student work artifacts that demonstrate progress toward your district’s skills. Teachers can use it to upload evidence of learning, connect artifacts to skills, and track growth over time. This guide walks you through viewing, adding, editing, and deleting artifacts.
