In Demonstrating Student Mastery with Digital Badges and Portfolios , David Niguidula shows how students can meet standards and express their individuality through digital badges and portfolios. Building off an essential question - What do schools want their students to know and be able to do? - he then shows how schools can implement a proficiency-based approach to student learning that has been successfully field-tested in districts across the United States.

In manageable steps, readers are guided through the implementation process.

The book shows readers how to:

• Connect standards to badges.
• Create portfolio worthy tasks.
• Develop common rubrics and a common understanding of what work is considered "good enough"
• Guide students in curating the elements of their portfolios.
• Promote authentic student reflection on their work.
