SkillProof: How It Works — Printable Slide Deck
Teach it. Practice it. Prove it.
How teachers and CTE programs turn classwork into instructor-verified skills that carry into careers.
What this presentation covers
For CTE directors, program teachers, principals and work-based learning coordinators.
- The problem with proving skills
- Private classrooms and courses
- Assignments, rubrics and grading
- Instructor-verified skills
- Portfolios, CareerPath and co-op
- Privacy, consent and rollout
Test scores don't show what a student can actually do
Today
- – Practical skills live in teacher notebooks
- – Co-op hours tracked on paper or spreadsheets
- – Students leave with little proof of ability
- – Employers can't see verified competencies
With SkillProof
- ✓ Teachers sign off practical skills
- ✓ Hours logged and totaled automatically
- ✓ Students build a portfolio and resume
