Work-Based Learning Updates

'Tis the season to add WBL activities to the Tracker!

If you haven’t been able to add activities to the WBL Participation Tracker so far this fall, this is a great time to do so! View the Tracker resources for more information about different features and step-by-step guides on how to enter activities and students.

Two Tech Features from this fall to start using

We’ve been hard at work launching tech features based on your feedback. Check out the following features:

Teachers can now make student check-in easier than ever. Share a QR code or URL with your students during WBL activities, and they can quickly check themselves in by entering their name and district ID. Be sure to check out our resources to get started and see how this new process works.

Wondering what your student is seeing in their NAFTrack Students account? You can now log in as any student you want. In that student’s record in the Student Management part of NAFTrack Educators, go to the “Shadow Account” link on the left side (see below from a test account; not real student data). You will then be able to log in as that student. Note that if the student hasn’t created a NAFTrack Students account yet, you will not see the link.
