After multiple meetings with the community, Georgetown ISD debuted the district’s Learner Profile in 2015 that highlights the qualities and characteristics a graduate of the school district should possess.
The profile came as a result of a curriculum audit, or an assessment of all curriculum instruction in the district, which the district has been working on for more than a year, Superintendent Fred Brent said. He said the school district turned to the community to gather input on what to include in the curriculum that would teach desirable skills.
The Learner Profile highlighted qualities such as critical thinking, perseverance, self-knowledge and personal responsibility.
“The community told us, ‘Teach the standards the way they need to be taught, and align them in a way that will build these qualities and characteristics for our kids so that they are able to survive and thrive in the future,’” Brent said.
