“Own your learning” means taking ownership of your Learner Record
your Portrait of a Graduate / Portfolio / Profile of a Learner

Map of the United States showing states with portrait graduation policies for students, with some states in green indicating they have a portrait policy, some in blue indicating they are in the process of developing one, and black stars indicating states with competency-based graduation requirements.

Does a graded transcript show your love of learning?
What do students have to show for 10 years of teaching and learning?
Are learners and families highly involved in their own education?

This is the importance of your profile:
It showcases your active participation and accountability.

Examples:

Map of the United States with states colored by development stages: blue for emerging, orange for developing, and dark blue for advanced.

Every state now lets schools measure students’ success based on Mastery, not seat time.

Advanced: State has comprehensive policies and/or an active state role in building capacity in local school districts for competency education

Developing: State has flexible policies for local school districts to transition to competency education

Emerging: State has limited flexibility in policy for local school districts to shift to competency education

This is a change 100 years in the making.
