The Portrait of a Graduate is meant to list aspirations that are not necessarily meant to be quantified and measured.
MAP stands for:
• Mastery is the ability to demonstrate depth of knowledge and skill proficiency.
• Autonomy is having the self-confidence and motivation to think and act independently.
• Purpose guides life decisions, influences behavior, shapes goals, offers a sense of direction, and creates meaning.
Check out the Portrait of a Graduate and brainstorm ways you could use it in your classroom today!
