- “LiFT has been an amazing part of our Journey empowering teachers and learners! Instead of having to change instruction to fit the LMS, LiFT helps us do what we really want to do. We are so excited for the work we are doing with LiFT!”

How it works
LiFT automatically generates a Skill Portfolio for every competency.
As learning happens, teachers and learners curate evidence of learning from across classes and outside of school into Skill Portfolios.
A rubric with clear criteria is embedded in each portfolio enabling a holistic assessment of an entire body of work.
Teachers can view a learner’s portfolio in the class context, or more broadly across all terms and classes – perfect to calibrate assessment of competencies.
A reporting engine allows teachers and administrators to generate a variety of customized reports from class progress to progress towards graduation.
Whether evidence comes from a school assignment, an extra-curricular activity, on the job, or anywhere else, it all counts on the journey to mastery. More than a flat collection of artifacts, LiFT Skill Portfolios document the growth process for each and every skill, creating transparency about what your learners can do, both inside and outside of the classroom.

— “I have spent the past two years reviewing possible solutions available in the marketplace. We chose LiFT both because of the functionality and the way in which they work with schools. It’s clear to me that they get schools like ours, which sets them in stark contrast to most off-the shelf gradebooks or learning management systems.”
