EASTCONN offers support to districts through multiple entry points as they pursue a personalized, student-centered learning system. We can facilitate and engage the school community in the development of your Portrait of a Graduate; measurement and reporting of student knowledge skills and habits of mind; student agency; competency-based instruction and project-based learning. As districts seek to prepare learners for the ever-changing life they will lead, EASTCONN's highly qualified staff have been trained with leading professional organizations in the field to bring you innovative practices.

Benefits: Districts that create a Portrait of a Graduate develop a common purpose, language and vision. A strong district vision serves as the foundation to build stakeholder understanding of “why” decisions are made. With an understanding of what knowledge, skills and dispositions students need for college, career and life, districts can shift and align effective, engaging 21st century teaching practices that ensure success.
