Education Management

Battelle for Kids is a national, not-for-profit organization helping to empower educators so that every student has hope, resilience, and the knowledge and skills to be future-ready. For more than a decade, Battelle for Kids, along with our EdLeader21 Network, has been at the forefront of developing Portraits of a Graduate—shared community visions that expand the view of student success in enrollment, enlistment, entrepreneurship, and employment. Today, Battelle for Kids brings the Portrait to life through our Portrait to Practice work, which purposefully integrates essential academic content with durable skills for future success. Moving forward, our Portrait to Impact framework will use both data and storytelling to showcase evidence of student growth, assess their knowledge and skills, and demonstrate real-world application. The Future-Ready Journey Map helps educators fearlessly reimagine what education can be. It is designed to guide learning organizations through a journey from Portrait to Practice to Impact. This model emphasizes the importance of aligning every part of the educational system to support deeper learning and future-ready mindsets. To further support learning organizations, Battelle for Kids facilitates a national professional learning network (EdLeader21), professional learning communities (SOAR Ohio and the Complex Systems Cohort), and innovation groups. These opportunities bring together future-focused educators and leaders to share experiences, provide support, and inspire each other throughout the Future-Ready Journey. The Future is Ready. We start where you choose to begin.
