Portrait of a Learner
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:
- Critical Thinkers
- Effective Communicators
- Inclusive Collaborators
- Inspired Creators
- Global Contributors
- Resilient Learners
- Students who practice Wellness; which is foundational to all the other competencies.
