Backpack of Success Skills, Transition Readiness, and Graduate Profile
5 29 18 JCBE Work Session Audio
Vision 2020’s Goal for Deeper Learning states the following:
Each student will progress toward mastery of both academic standards and the development of capacities and dispositions necessary for success in college, career, community, and life.
The District is creating and implementing a system-wide instructional strategy and supporting online and professional development infrastructure to ensure transition readiness for every student based on progress on key academic, cognitive, social, and self-management skills.
Each student will have a virtual Backpack of Success Skills where evidence of learning will be collected at every grade. Students will also be asked to defend that work at the end of fifth grade, eighth grade, and twelfth grade. This will provide a way to measure deeper learning that includes both mastery of academic skills and the development of non-academic skills
The Backpack of Success Skills framework is based on a newly developed JCPS Graduate Profile, which establishes the expectations for JCPS graduates in five domains:
-
Prepared and Resilient Learner
-
Globally and Culturally Competent Citizen
-
Engaging Innovator
-
Effective Communicator
-
Productive Collaborator
The JCPS Graduate Profile was developed in collaboration and consultation with teachers, administrators, business leaders, and other stakeholders. It is structured so that, grade by grade, students acquire and carry with them the skills they need to be successful at the next level, and ultimately for college, career, and life.
