NYSED’s Portrait of a Graduate Framework (POG) promises to inspire change in curriculum and teaching across the K-20 spectrum. In K-8, schools are preparing students to be ready for high school and career, while colleges are receiving the newly conceived HS graduates and also preparing the next generation of teachers. NYSED’s NY Inspires Initiative calls on the field to reimagine not only our state requirements for high school graduation, but the intricate series of experiences before and after the completion of high school. It may spawn new policies or regulatory change. In this panel presentation, experts from various disciples will discuss how the POG fits into curricular planning for this new state initiative.
