February 12 College and Career Readiness Committee Meeting

College and Career Readiness Committee Member and 2017 PVM Graduate, Camryn Lawyea, sharing her experiences at PVM and the pathway she chose that has led her to Syracuse University's prestigious Whitman's School of Management. She shared the courses at PVM that prepared her for college as well as the courses she wished she had taken, which was excellent for students in the room that share her pathway to hear.  The group reviewed the identified attributes selected at the first College and Career Readiness Committee back in December, and they provided additional feedback so we can finalize the list.

The committee of students, staff, parents, local business leaders, and community members did a wonderful job providing us with detailed feedback regarding the attributes of a Central Square graduate.  Although the group has provided us with things we can (and will) change regarding the originally identified group of attributes, the overall consensus was that the group really liked the identified attributes. The finalized attributes of a Central Square graduate will be posted and hung in every PreK-12 classroom across the District. We fully understand that unless we actually plan opportunities to provide students with opportunities to effectively communicate, problem solve, collaborate, etc., then these attributes will not be worth the paper they are posted on.  These attributes must be systematic across the District so we have a highly reliable organization.
