Portrait of a Learner

CUSD Portrait of a Learner Logo with 7 Competencies

In 2019, the CUSD community made up of parents, teachers, staff, students, and community members worked to draft a statement that reflects our shared vision for the future readiness of our students. While maintaining a strong foundation in academics, the community also sought to identify the transferrable and durable skills students need to succeed in college, the workforce, and in life. 

The CUSD Portrait of a Learner identifies seven competencies that we will cultivate within our students during their time as a student in our schools. In CUSD classrooms, we want our students to grow as:

  1. Critical Thinkers
  2. Effective Communicators
  3. Inclusive Collaborators
  4. Inspired Creators
  5. Global Contributors
  6. Resilient Learners
  7. Students who practice Wellness; which is foundational to all the other competencies.
