How can CTE programs use digital badges to show student’s

Career and Technical Education (CTE)  is more popular than ever, leading students to careers from biotechnology to culinary arts to digital media.    

As CTE student enrollment continues to increase,  listen to how one urban school district uses digital badges to show student accomplishments while reducing the faculty’s time needed to track each student’s progress.

In this podcast, Catherine Rickert, Director of the Career and Tech Center is joined by David Niguidula, Founder of Richer Picture, and host Bill Carozza.

Students often what to share their badges and portfolios with audiences outside of their school. In this episode, we talk about how students can set up their portfolios for this purpose. Typically, students set up a "tour" - a subset of the work they have collected - for the audience they have in mind. We'll discuss strategies for setting up tours for employers, college admissions or placement, and other audiences.

As students complete their portfolios, how can they show off their accomplishments? In this episode, we discuss strategies for reviewing portfolios, from parent-teacher conferences to special end-of-year review sessions. You'll hear about how students can create "tours" of their best work and how they can demonstrate a school's vision of a graduate.

Individual Learning Plans (also known as Personal Learning Plans or Student Success Plans) are common in schools across the country. Students set academic, career, college and personal goals.

On today's show, Richer Picture founder David Niguidula and host Bill Carozza will discuss the factors you should consider when embarking on a new initiative in your school or district.
