PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE

• Each quarter students will have opportunities to conduct reflections and curate evidence overtime in connection to a POG attribute. 

• Select a POG skill from the vertical articulation charts (Resource 1) to focus on with students and explicitly teach the skill; if at an IB school, select an ATL skill from the IB & POG Crosswalk (Resource 2) to focus on with students and explicitly teach the skill.
• Dedicate time for regular student reflection (Resource 1; Resource 2 for IB Schools) - such as turn and talks, quick writes, or silent thinking to self - to process the POG/ATL skills they utilized during meaningful learning experiences and consider how they can continue to grow.
• Utilize POG Reflection Cards (Resource 1) and Sentence Strips for Reflection (Resource 2) to create opportunities for students to reflect on growth in POG skills; if at an IB school, utilize ATL Reflection Cards and ATL Sentence Strips for Reflection (Resource 3).
