Educating Toward NY’s Portrait of a Graduate: Purpose and/or Pedagogy?!
Wednesday July 16, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
 If we want students to graduate with the skills and dispositions outlined in NY's Portrait of a Graduate, we obviously need to think about teaching and learning across grade levels and time. We will use the Solutionary Framework™ as an example and will actively consider and discuss the following: How do we ensure that student learning experiences authentically and reliably build toward the outcomes described in NY's Portrait of a Graduate, regardless of pathway through school? We are confident that the wisdom to answer this question in ways that fit your context/vision will be in the room. Join us!
