Vanguard's mission is to build the capacity of instructional leaders to transform learning and teaching. The Fulton County Board of Education believes in that mission and they support us by making a considerable financial investment in our team each year. As a result, we need to be fiscally responsible and make sure that we are providing a return on their investment. The purpose of the Vanguard points system is to document the work that we do so that we can share and celebrate how awesome our team is!

Vanguard Requirements:

• Teachers and METIs (Instructional Staff) will earn a total of 100 XP; 50 Mentoring XP and 50 from any category
  
• Non-Instructional Staff will earn a total of 50 XP from any category. This includes school and district admin, CSTs, Administrative Assistants, Instructional Coaches, Data Support Specialists, etc.
  
  

Earning Badges:

As you know, this year we have introduced badges as a way to recognize people as they make progress toward meeting their Vanguard requirements and forwarding our mission and vision. In order to meet your requirements, you must earn the following badges:

• Instructional members must earn the Vanguard 100 (100 Total XP) AND the Mentoring Master Gold (50 Mentoring XP)
• Non-instructional members must earn the Vanguard Fab 50 (50 Total XP).

Vanguard New Members remember the game Trivial Pursuit? Well, we're introducing "New Member Pursuits;" a series of badges that you will earn as you complete the modules in your new member course. As of today, all new members should have earned the first three pieces of the pie, since module 3 was due on February 22nd.

The first three badges have been awarded via Badgr. You should have received notification emails, but sometimes they go to clutter. You can also view your badges by logging into badgr.com using your Office 365 credentials. If you didn't get all three badges, it just means you need to catch up a bit. Don't worry there's still time! Just complete the modules you are missing to earn your badges! I'll be updating and awarding new badges following the due date of the current module.

Remember, completing all of the new member modules is a requirement for Vanguard membership, and we'll be rewarding new members who complete the course with your very own Vanguard iPad! (Note: iPads will be distributed in the fall to everyone who completes the course.)

New Members we have a total of 6 Modules this semester, we are now on Module 4. To better support you we have created new codes with an extended expiration date! Please pay close attention to the chart below the Modules, the Code ( new code highlighted in red), the direct link and the code expiration date.
