Migration to Xello in Michigan

Success with EDPs

2. Statewide commitment and accountability

3. Amazing collaboration

4. In-application guidance for students, easy progress tracking for educators

But, helping students plan for the future is hard...

Michigan has a vision1. Development of talent portfolios

2. Work-based learning and community connections

3. Career development activities each grade, with integration into the core curriculum

4. Career development happens K-12

5. Moving beyond a checkbox approach

… and that’s why we created Xello.

Students are engaged right until the end of the class—there's no need to remind them to stay on task.

They're excited to use Xello, and we're excited because we can help students prepare for the ‘real

world’ in a personalized, but still scalable way.
