As you may know, Belmont Public Schools has developed a new Strategic Plan that was shared by Superintendent Dr. Geiser at the School Committee last Tuesday. The next step is the creation of our Portrait of a Graduate. We are actively engaging our community in developing a Portrait of a Graduate, a collective vision that articulates our aspirations for every student in Belmont. Our Portrait of a Graduate will serve as North Star for our schools, bringing our community together with a shared vision.
As parents and guardians in our community, your participation and perspective in designing this vision is essential to its success. We invite you to join our Portrait Design Team, share ongoing input, and together inform our Portrait of a Graduate.
Over the next few months, the Portrait Design Team will explore the following questions:
What are the hopes, dreams, and aspirations that our community has for our young people?
What are the skills and mindsets that our children need for success in this rapidly changing and complex world?
What are the implications for the design of the learning experiences—and equitable access to those experiences—we provide in our school systems?
