Assessing Our Portraits: Celebrating Student Growth on Portrait Competencies

Application Start

Application Deadline

About

Digital Promise is collaborating with Pearson to conduct a landscape scan of the assessment models districts are using to recognize and track student growth in Portrait of a Graduate (PoG) competencies. These competencies, such as creativity and critical thinking, are complex and not easily captured by traditional assessments. To address this challenge, participants in this cohort will share their current or proposed assessment strategies, reflect on the pros and cons of different approaches, and generate insights into how to design, implement, and learn from meaningful assessment tools that integrate PoG competencies into teaching and learning. 


A select group of districts will participate in an in-person meeting to share insights and learn about PoG assessment methods, scheduled for the week of July 28 or August 4. Additionally, districts may have the opportunity to provide feedback on assessment prototypes previously developed by Pearson. All participants will attend 1 to 3 one-hour Zoom meetings with other districts, facilitated by Digital Promise staff.

Application Criteria

  • 15 districts will be selected for Zoom participation
  • 5-7 districts will be selected for in-person participation
  • Districts must have an established Portrait of a Graduate with assessment methods already in place
  • The primary audience is the district superintendent and the individual responsible for PoG implementation (this may vary depending on district size/structure)

Application Instructions
