Administration outlines next steps on instructional framework and "portrait of a YC graduate"
Summary
District administration briefed the board on stakeholder surveys that prioritized critical thinking and communication, and described a multi-step plan to develop an instructional framework and aligned 'portrait of a graduate' across grade bands.
Clint, speaking for district administration, summarized stakeholder survey results used to craft a "portrait of a YC graduate." He said critical thinking and problem solving ranked highest among parents, students and staff, followed by communication (writing, speaking and listening), and that next steps include building-level definitions and vertical alignment across grade bands.
Clint described a multi-year implementation path: analyze survey data, convene leadership teams, pilot an instructional framework, and involve teacher groups and unions as needed. "The top right skills that came up almost universally across all surveys was critical thinking and problem solving," he said. The administration plans a report in June with further actions and an implementation timeline.
