CANCELED - Portrait of a Graduate Workshop

A Portrait of a Graduate (PoG) is a shared vision identifying the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of today’s learners. It serves as your organization’s North Star by outlining the competency-based academic and essential skills necessary to prepare your learners for their future. A locally developed PoG is designed to reinvigorate and re-engage all stakeholders and provide an intentional structure to support equitable access to high-quality learning experiences. It is the single most impactful thing you can do within your system to redefine success.
 

What hopes, dreams, and aspirations do you have for your learners?

What are the skills and dispositions that our learners need for success in our global, rapidly changing society?

What are the implications for educators and the learning experiences we provide in our classrooms?

How would the development of high-quality, POWERful learning experiences, and equitable access to those experiences, help prepare our learners for their future?

This two-day workshop will start your district on the path towards developing a Portrait of Graduate that addresses the unique needs of your learners and your community.
