The Portrait of a Graduate process involves engaging your school district’s diverse community to unearth shared aspirations, delving into essential questions: 

• What hopes, dreams, and aspirations does our community hold for its students?
• Which skills and dispositions are imperative for success in our swiftly evolving, intricate world?
• How do these aspirations shape the design and accessibility of learning experiences within our school systems? 

Regardless of where your community stands in its journey—whether you're embarking on crafting a Portrait of a Graduate or already have one in motion—each stage presents invaluable lessons. 

Battelle for Kids Vice President Valerie Greenhill will moderate an interactive panel of three superintendents deeply immersed in the Portrait of a Graduate process. Each superintendent represents a distinct phase of the journey—sharing invaluable insights from design to launch and the ongoing nurturing of their community’s shared vision for every student.
