Badges, certificates and micro-credentials
Schools can now formally recognise student progress through badges, certificates, and micro-credentials.These can be issued by teachers or automated at scale, helping schools celebrate achievement while keeping administration manageable.
March 2, 2026
A modern feedback flow
We’ve introduced a Google Docs-style feedback experience. Teachers can leave comments directly on student actions, create comment threads, and resolve feedback collaboratively. Students are notified automatically, so nothing gets missed.
February 2, 2026
Verifying and endorsing student actions
Actions can now be verified by teachers to add weight and credibility, without devaluing unverified work. Teachers can also add testimonials at both action and profile level to give richer, more meaningful endorsements.

See progress across your whole school
Our Skills Audit helps schools spot trends across cohorts and curricula. It’s a powerful way to understand how students are developing skills over time, not just individually but at a whole-school level.
Additional updates
Improvement
Citizens as the ideal CAS portfolio
CAS remains one of the most popular use cases on Citizens, and we’ve refined the app further based on direct feedback from teachers and students, including easier table views of key tasks.
Integration
Easier setup and stronger integrations
We’ve improved rollout and admin tools with bulk student and teacher uploads and integrations with platforms like iSAMS, Schoolbox, Microsoft and Google to help schools roll out Citizens smoothly.
Improvement
Built for IB schools
Custom wheels support IB programmes such as CAS and CP, as well as the Learner Profile attributes and ATLs, with multilingual capabilities also available.
Feature
Proxy actions for structured learning
Teachers can create actions on behalf of students, providing structure for younger year groups, shared activities, and required curriculum tasks, while still encouraging students to add their own reflections and personalise their learning.
Accreditation
Recognising character development
Schools can highlight their commitment to student growth with accreditation badges that recognise character-developing learning environments.
Feature
Designed around your Graduate Profile
We can help schools turn their Graduate Profile into something living, measurable and visible — aligning it with their mission, values and ambition for their students.
