The Wyoming State Board of Education (SBE) has received recommendations from the design team for Phase I of the Profile of a Graduate. The goal of the initiative is to define the knowledge, skills, and attributes students should have when they graduate from a Wyoming high school. Once completed, the profile will provide a basis for the SBE to identify state graduation standards. SBE Chairman Ryan Furhman said the purpose of the project is to take a step back and gather the wisdom and perspectives of all the education stakeholders in determining what an ideal K-12 system should produce in terms of a Wyoming graduate.
The SBE established the design team, composed of representatives from multiple stakeholder groups, to assist with the Profile of a Graduate initiative. During Phase I of the project, the design team facilitated 46 listening sessions and received 496 survey responses from citizens across Wyoming. Input from over 800 participants was received during Phase I. After reviewing Phase I input, the design team recommended that the profile address four key areas of expectations for graduates: academics, career, community and life.
The SBE will now transition to Phase II of the Profile of a Graduate project. Phase II will involve the creation of a draft Profile of a Graduate and a second round of listening sessions to share the draft profile with the public and receive input from Wyoming stakeholders. The design team will review Phase II feedback on the draft profile and present any recommended changes to the SBE prior to final profile approval. The full design team recommendations can be viewed here.
