Bringing a graduate profile to life

Creating a Graduate Profile is a critical first step that lays a foundation for achieving improved outcomes for young people. It offers a renewed vision and shared definition of the college-, career-, and civic-ready student, serves as an impetus for shifting instructional practices and engaging students in deeper learning, and requires a shift in assessment that provides young people authentic ways to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Perhaps most important, when school boards and community groups endorse their Graduate Profile, they express the intent to hold themselves collectively accountable for a more equitable and holistic set of student learning outcomes to which they have agreed. It’s a promise to their students. This paper is from the US-based ConnectED
