Portrait of a Graduate Brings Coherence

How a strong Portrait of a Graduate can set the foundation for prioritizing student-centered learning district-wide.

A Portrait of a Graduate or learner profile is more than a statement of beliefs. It is a system-wide articulation of what students should know, be able to do, and value by the time they graduate. Effective portraits connect community voice, instructional priorities, and learner experience in ways that shape daily practice, not just district messaging.

These examples from school districts showcase how a strong Portrait of a Graduate can set the foundation for prioritizing student-centered learning.
