Your Portrait of a Graduate, measurable at last
FRST connects your district's future-ready skills to what's actually happening in classrooms, giving you longitudinal evidence you can take to the board, not anecdotes.
The gap every district knows
Your Portrait of a Graduate lives on posters, strategic plans, and website language. But when the board asks for evidence, collaboration, critical thinking, adaptability, there's no consistent data to show.
FRST makes those competencies measurable, trackable, and actionable, without adding a single new assessment.
From vision to evidence in three steps
Define
Input your Portrait of a Graduate competencies and map them to FRST's skill frameworks and state standards.
Capture
Teachers observe and record skill evidence during regular instruction, on tablet, phone, or desktop.
Act
Use lesson reports, student profiles, and district-wide analytics to drive decisions, interventions, and board reporting.

Built for how districts actually work
From classroom evidence capture to board-level reporting, one connected system.
District health at a glance
One panel brings together your district's health score, classes, students, and sessions with data — so leaders see where things stand without pulling a single report.
One platform, every level of your district
Superintendents
Board-ready evidence of skill growth across the district.
District & School Admins
Compare programs and schools with consistent skill data.
Curriculum Directors
See which curricula actually move future-ready skills.
Teachers
Capture evidence in seconds during normal instruction.
Know which programs are moving the needle, and which aren't.
FRST gives district leaders longitudinal evidence of which initiatives, curricula and interventions are actually building future-ready skills, so renewal and budget decisions are based on student impact, not assumptions.
Compare program impact
See skill growth across schools, grade bands and curricula side by side.
Justify budget allocation
Bring the board evidence of what's working before renewal cycles.
Reinvest with confidence
Identify programs with no measurable skill growth and redirect funding where it matters.
Feedback from teachers up to Superintendents
Early reactions to the Future Ready Skills Tracker have been overwhelmingly positive across every level.
Gabi Kuester
Former SAMster, Teacher in Renton SD, WA
"I've always tried to track collaboration at our whiteboards, but paper rubrics or simple e-trackers never gave me the full picture. With FRST, I was able to capture communication and teamwork evidence on the spot as my groups of three work through problems at vertical whiteboards, and then at the end of the lesson I can actually see how the whole class is developing those skills at once. It didn't feel like learning or adding a new "thing" and it just fit into what I was already trying to track. What I loved is that it builds over time. By the time trimester reports or student conferences come around, I could have real, organized evidence to look back on, not just a gut feeling about skills that don't really show up on paper or test scores."
"You both literally just showed me what I have been dreaming of for 20 years. SAM Labs was already transformational….but this, this solution has the ability to really impact education like never before. Way to go!!!"
Laura Nylen
Director of Digital Learning & STEM Integration, IPSD, IL
"SAM Labs has played an important role in supporting our district-wide approach to hands-on, skills-based learning. As we continue to strengthen our CTE pathways, the addition of the Future Ready Skills Tracker provides an opportunity to more effectively measure and reflect on the competencies that prepare students for the workforce."
