Your Portrait of a Graduate: The North Star for Community Connected Transformation

Ford Next Generation Learning (Ford NGL) believes Portraits of a Graduate (PoG) are critical to Community Connected Transformation. Why is the PoG so critical? Because the PoG IS the north star for a community’s transformation efforts! The PoG helps to steer the community toward a clear outcome and keep all of the systems, structures, processes, curricula, experiences, and - honestly - everything aligned toward ensuring that a community’s graduates will have the knowledge, skills, experiences, and more they need to have a clear career and life plan for themselves the Monday after graduation.   In this webinar, you will:

• Learn what a Portrait of a Graduate is and why it guides a community’s work, K-12.
• Why a PoG is the “North Star” of your community-connected transformation.
• Why building an ongoing communication structure for educating stakeholders about the story and ‘Why’ of the PoG will help keep your community’s transformation efforts on a straight and steady path and your PoG at the center of your work.
