The Skills-Based Portfolio gives administrators a clear window into how students are building and demonstrating district-prioritized skills. With this level of visibility, you can quickly pinpoint strengths, identify areas for growth, and monitor progress over time. This article outlines how to navigate the Skills-Based Portfolio from an administrator’s view, including how to sort and interpret artifact data by skill, grade level, and site.
