Hello,
I know it is an extremely hectic time of year. If there are any HS folks who can spare a minute or two I have a quick question regarding your Vision of the Graduate standards - "the attainment of transferable skills, disciplinary/interdisciplinary knowledge, understandings, and dispositions necessary to prepare learners for their future" (NEASC).
How does your school ensure that students are meeting these standards? For example, having students create a digital portfolio with examples of how they have met the standards to be graded by Advisory teachers (an idea that is being floated at my school). Another method might be to have tasks/activities embedded into required classes that these class teachers then grade.
So if you have the time all I am looking for is a sentence about how you hold students accountable for meeting your Vision of the Graduate standards.
