Workshop for Schools in the US
This workshop supports leaders in the challenging and exciting work of introducing the Vision of the Graduate (VoG) to their school communities. Participants will hear about one school’s journey with the Vision of the Graduate, providing tangible examples of what the implementation of the vision of the graduate looks like in practice. They will learn scalable strategies that take the VoG from idea to implementation, gain a clearer understanding of the Vision of the Graduate and a variety of action steps they can take to lead this important work in their school communities.
Join us at an upcoming workshop to build excitement, creativity, and capacity for this important work.

Who should participate
This workshop is ideal for collaborative groups of educators, students, and leaders at any level from schools/districts interested in implementing the vision of the graduate. Each school/district team can include up to four participants.
| Perhaps the most important challenge facing educational leaders is shifting the focus of teaching and learning from content knowledge to skill development. The Vision of the Graduate provides a framework that helps schools in this work by creating a vision for learning that matches the needs of modern classrooms, colleges, communities, and careers. |
