It provides strategic direction for redesigning the overall educational experience for students - teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, and evaluation.

The Profile of Your Graduate will express a shared vision and mission to re-invigorate students, educators, and the community as part of your district's brand!

Leading the Vision:

Dr. Matthew J. Murphy, a 33-year educator with proven, innovation-based leadership experience, will:

• Offer practical, foundational guidance to help you get started on a profile process that will be customized for and by your community.
