Campus K12
Campus K12 provides K–12 communities with a patent pending "Opportunities for Excellence" program for Educators. This Excellence program uniquely allows educators to assess their proficiency on any set of standards (ex: NETS•T) with respect to three levels of development, 1) knowledge, 2) application and 3) mastery. The online assessment system includes self surveys and tests as well as mentored portolios in which mentors interact with other educators who create artifacts and actions plans that are evaluated. As the mentored educator reaches mastery level, his/her "best practices" are placed in the knowledge base to be shared with others in the learning community thus completing the cycle.
