I'm interested in the Canton program's Career Passport system, which documents students' credentials and marketable skills. Could you describe this in more detail and maybe share some of the documents you use to describe and verify skills? Here we have each student assemble a portfolio with three sections: academic, career exploration, and experiential skills. This year I am asking students to reflect on and evaluate their 6 best pieces/accomplishments through the lens of EFF skills. I slightly modified your "For the Portfolio" sheet (page 83 of the new EFF book) for this, and it is definitely taking my students into a new level of appreciating what they've done, and finding ways to connect it to their lives. Thank you for this great work! We could do this because from the beginning of class I made the EFF wheel our steering wheel, and the students are familiar with the range of skills beyond reading writing and math. But I need to find more ways to integrate EFF concepts into what I do every class. I would love to hear more about how you use EFF standards to help students become more employable and more successful in their lives.
