New York's Portrait of a Graduate asks districts to develop collaborative contributors and effective communicators — but most schools already have the pieces. The gap isn't vision. It's implementation. This session gives curriculum directors, coaches, and building leaders a practical upgrade framework for mapping existing units, routines, and assessments to Portrait tenets — without rebuilding everything from scratch. Participants leave with a concrete crosswalk tool and at least one actionable next step they can bring back to their team on Monday.
