Do good, go green, earn badges, earn green.
Hi all,
Hope you're all having a great week!
More than 20 badges (and counting!) have been earned this week by APS students participating in the Green Star Schools Program!
Are you badging your students? Find out more about the process at badges.aurorak12.org
In order to earn cash incentives moving forward, your club members will need to earn badges to demonstrate student engagement.
It's easy.
Here's the process:
1. Students select an activity or reflect on a past activity and how it's defined by the "Journey" Badges. The Journey Badges exemplify 21st Century Credentials and allow students to earn badges to unlock one or all of the Five Summit Badges:
Invention
Critical Thinking
Collaboration
Self-Direction
Information Literacy
2. Students complete activities that support their school in the Green Star Schools Program, a complete list of activities and CLAIM CODES is available on the Green Stars Playbook: https://docs.google.com/a/aurorak12.org/document/d/1FukuJNqUdSWkye-ANQ5Uhp-eupFn1xsdWomUJ-dViTk/edit?usp=sharing
3. Students upload evidence onto https://apsbadge.credly.com/#!/sign-in (photos, reports, videos, links to websites, social media posts, etc.) using their @aurorak12.org email and password.
4. An email will be sent to the student with confirmation of earned badge!
