About This Webinar
The secret behind many schools and districts making progress toward clear, shared, and aligned learner-centered outcomes is a Framework for the Future that actively guides a learning community’s decisions, experiences, and resources.
In this webinar, school and district leaders will discover:
- Why a Graduate Profile isn’t enough
- What exactly is a Framework for the Future
- How it supports leadership and learning in every facet of a district from the admin team to student learning and educator professional development
- Where their school or district is in the process and the next actions to move their district forward (hint: you are likely further along than you think!)
Our team works with schools and districts across the country to develop a learning community’s mission, vision, values, learner profile (aka Graduate Profile or Portrait of a Graduate) and learning model with clear success indicators to ensure teams can bring them to life with educators and learners. Learner-Centered Collaborative CIO, Katie Martin, and Strategic Partnerships Director, César Morales, will be sharing examples, process recommendations, implementation insights, and innovative ideas from rural to urban districts successfully putting their vision for learners into action.
Bring your questions, bring an old dusty framework, bring a blank canvas. This webinar is for any and all leaders thinking about a new or existing Framework for the Future. All registrants will have the opportunity to schedule a 20-minute consultation after the webinar to discuss their existing or aspirational Framework for the Future with a member of our team.
