There is a growing nationwide trend to define student success beyond test scores and accountability dashboards, especially in districts engaged in strategic planning. The best way to do so is to establish a graduate profile, which typically identifies the cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competencies students should have upon graduating from high school, giving greater meaning to what a diploma signifies and promises.

This gives the whole community, including teachers and parents, a clear plan for teaching, learning, and testing from TK to 12th grade, preparing graduates to lead lives in this rapidly changing environment and succeed.

What can TSS do?

At Total School Solutions, we assist districts in creating and executing a Profile of a Graduate. While creating this profile, our experts consider the community's ideas and goals, ensure stakeholder engagement, and plan grade-by-grade activities and assessments that track progress towards these larger goals and support strategic implementation, goal tracking, and professional development. We also ensure that the profile is representative of all students, including students who have historically struggled. Our profiles articulate what student success looks like in a holistic, future-ready way.
