Welcome to a new era in education, where the future isn’t just a distant dream, but a tangible reality we are preparing students for today. At Battelle for Kids®, we believe in a world where every student is ready for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
That’s why we are leading a movement that empowers educators so that every student has hope, resilience, and the knowledge and skills to be future-ready.
Our vision is simple: every student future-ready.
AASA’s acquisition of Battelle for Kids’ strategic assets and staff ensures long-term sustainability and growth while maintaining the impact of the leading Portrait of a Graduate and Portrait to Practice® design process.
For more than a decade, Battelle for Kids, along with our EdLeader21® Network, has been at the forefront of developing Portraits of a Graduate—shared community visions that expand the view of student success in enrollment, enlistment, entrepreneurship, and employment.
Today, Battelle for Kids brings the Portrait to life through our Portrait to Practice® work, which purposefully integrates essential academic content with durable skills for future success. Moving forward, our Portrait to Impact™ framework will use both data and storytelling to showcase evidence of student growth, assess their knowledge and skills, and demonstrate real-world application.
We’re passionate about collaborating with educators and communities and sharing their success stories on the journey to ensure that every student is ready for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

EdLeader21 is proud to be the nation’s only professional learning network dedicated to Portrait of a Graduate and deeper learning. It is a vibrant community for educators exploring the idea of creating a shared community vision, preparing for launch, or striving to maintain progress.
This is more than just a network to join. It’s a movement towards reimagining the future of education, ensuring students not only succeed academically but thrive with the durable skills necessary to be future-ready.
