“Own your learning” means taking ownership of your Learner Record
your Portrait of a Graduate / Portfolio / Profile of a Learner
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:
Portrait of a Nevada learner.
South Carolina profile of a graduate
Utah portrait of a graduate
Profile of a Virginia graduate
Washington profile of a graduate
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.
