Envision Education

Year Founded: 2002

Since its inception, Envision Education has focused on creating an inspiring educational experience that is as meaningful for teachers as it is for students by redefining what it means for students everywhere to be ready for college and life. Envision’s Portfolio Defense system helps these traditionally underserved students defy the odds, and get to and persist in college at higher-than-average rates. By preparing these students for college success and supporting them to get that college degree, we are helping them transform the future, for themselves and their families.

Since 2002, Envision has been transforming the lives of students through its acclaimed and nationally replicated Portfolio Defense assessment model, which authentically measures the most important things students need to learn in order to succeed in college and career: academic content, leadership skills, and deeper learning competencies such as reflection and growth mindset. In 2010 they created Envision Learning Partners, a consultancy that works with progressive teachers and school leaders to transform the educational experience for students across the country.  ELP helps schools and districts create excellent learning communities and develop engaged, well-prepared learners.
