From Portrait to Practice to Impact

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 highlight evidence and storytelling to showcase student growth, assess knowledge and skills, and demonstrate real-world application.
