In 2026, more and more districts are turning to Portrait of a Learner to define the skills, mindsets, and competencies students need for life beyond graduation. But once that vision is in place, leaders often run into a major challenge: How do you make it real across classrooms, schools, and systems?
In this recorded webinar, Dr. Terra Greenwell, former Chief Academic Officer at Jefferson County Public Schools (KY), explores why Portrait initiatives are gaining traction and where implementation efforts often stall. Then, leaders from Carroll County Schools (KY) share how their team built a Portrait of a Learner that is embedded in instruction, assessment, and districtwide practice.
Throughout the panel discussion, leaders shared strategies on how to:
- Build alignment across schools and stakeholders to support Portrait implementation
- Translate Portrait competencies into observable student evidence
- Sustain and scale the work across a district over time
