Milford curriculum team reports gains on 'Portrait of a Graduate' measures
Summary
District staff reported quarter‑to‑quarter proficiency gains across multiple 'portrait of a graduate' attributes, highlighted lower scores for 'globally aware' and set curriculum committee work this year to align reporting across three standards sets.
District staff presented the district’s new reporting approach aligned to the "Portrait of a Graduate," showing quarter‑to‑quarter gains on several attributes while identifying areas for continued focus.
Mrs. Radowitz explained the district aligned prior rubrics to the portrait of a graduate and now reports on six attributes (critical thinkers; creators and innovators; flexible, adaptive and resilient learners; personally responsible individuals; globally aware citizens; effective communicators) using a four‑point rubric. She highlighted results by grade: for example, seniors’ proficiency rose from 73% to 81% in one measure and the school overall moved from 60% to 67% (mid‑course to end‑course reporting varies by grade). The presentation identified 'globally aware' as the lowest‑scoring attribute across some grades and noted the committee’s plan to reconcile three overlapping standards sets into a single K–12 reporting framework.
Board members asked for clarity on rubrics, baseline reporting and comparative interpretation; Radowitz explained that mid‑course reporting starts at different points and that the full implementation of quarterly reporting is recent. The curriculum, instruction and assessment committee will work with department leads to recommend a single reporting set for K–12.
