<p><a href="http://schools.shrewsburyma.gov/" target="_blank">Shrewsbury Public Schools</a> is a PK-12 public school district in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, USA. In 2017, Shrewsbury invited community members to participate in a diverse <a href="https://campussuite-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/prod/11162/b2004386-1ca3-11e6-b537-22000bd8490f/1718283/bb07fe94-27b6-11e8-b4e4-0a7e75a2b9be/file/ProfileofaGraduateWorkingGroupRoster2017.pdf" target="_blank">working group</a> dedicated to developing a portrait of a Shrewsbury High School graduate. That working group was tasked with creating a draft of a portrait of a graduate, which was then presented to the rest of the Shrewsbury community for comment through in-person public forums and by using the online platform <a href="http://shrewsburyma.thoughtexchange.com/card-improve/to-improve/" target="_blank">Thoughtexchange</a>. Shrewsbury then incorporated the feedback from the community to develop a “final” draft of their <a href="http://schools.shrewsburyma.gov/district/portrait-of-a-graduate" target="_blank">portrait of a graduate</a>. </p>
<p>For this video, keep the following questions in mind. Feel free to share your answers in your journal or with your peers.</p>
<ul>
<li>High school Director of English Liza Trombley says, “Parents are too often left out of the process of education” (2:58). Does your school involve parents in reflection on teaching and learning? </li>
<li>High school student Julia D. says, “I think that Shrewsbury's actually giving their students a voice, which I think is really helpful” (4:21). Does your school currently ask students to reflect on their school experience? What do you think students would say if you asked them to reflect on the purpose of high school and what they’re prepared to know or be able to do?</li>
</ul>
