Digital Portfolio Curation Platform

Background

The Roanoke County School Board is seeking proposals for a digital portfolio curation platform aimed at enhancing the educational experience of high school students. This initiative aligns with the district's mission to prepare students to be 'Opportunity Ready,' equipping them with essential skills for success in college, careers, and civic life. The platform will support the Senior Portfolio Defense process, allowing students to document their learning journey and present their work effectively.
