Description:
-
In the state of Colorado, gifted-talented learners are supported by state funding and mandates. Mandates include the development of an advanced learning plan. Technology could better support gifted-talented youth through the existence of a tool which enables the advanced learning plan to be more student-centered. This project is inspired by that need.
-
The current Advanced Learning Plan process consists of one teacher submitting data digitally while the learner has no access to driving the process. Align addresses the need for this process to be student-centered and student-driven by empowering the learner to create their own account and success plan.

Adobe XD, Ruby, Rails, Postgresql, JWT Auth, Angular, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Postman
User Story:
