Credentials Portal is the best solution for districts to successfully facilitate the ordination process. This system will allow districts to securely: - Track completed courses for each candidate - Track years of service - Enable uploading of transcripts and important documents - Mark important milestones as completed - Allow mentor engagement and follow-up to happen regularly - Allow access for studies and credentials board members to facilitate and track notes for annual interviews - And more… We believe this system will help candidates feel supported and confident of where they are in the process, mentors to have better conversations and follow-up with candidates, and board members having the access to the information they all need.
