Great document as well.  I think we'll need to be cognizant that some of the indicators under "Values-driven leader" like kindness, joy, etc., may manifest differently among different learners.  It won't look the same across the board.  Overall, I like the document.

Under Equipped Scholar, the faculty felt the order should be: Life, College, & Career Ready. Though it is a small change they felt this emphasized that we are preparing all of our students for Life, then college if that is their plan to go.

Lots of great conversation. One thought that came from the conversation on the Equipped Scholar was "to think globally but act locally".
A concern that resonated throughout the conversation was the ability for all Klein parents to understand the document and how it will impact not only their students but parents as well.

I love the whole child/whole citizen goals in the Profile of a Learner. I believe initial challenges will be articulating different age-appropriate steps in helping students achieve each identified descriptors (Pathway Explorer, Equipped Scholar, Values-Driven Leader, and Forever Learner). However, I believe that we will identify great ways to address each of these areas across all grade levels and spotlight successes when we see them in our schools. Those spotlights will add tangible action options for educators who may need this assistance.

I especially appreciate the format of this document: the four sections and that each section includes "And exhibiting..."  I see in the feedback that the concept of "failing forward" has received mixed feedback. I think this is more a sign that we need to have conversations about what this means and not that we need to change it.  It is important that we work to transform the idea of failure, and "failing forward" needs to be a part of our shared vocabulary in Klein ISD. I am somewhat bothered by the notation "financially literate," not that I think it isn't necessary as it is absolutely necessary. I would like to see "financially literate in parentheses or behind a colon after a larger idea. Perhaps, "College and Career Ready: Academically and socially well-rounded" and "Life Ready: Financially and culturally literate citizen" would work. I think recognizing and highlighting that we are developing citizens in a democratic society is important

If this profile is to be presented to students as a mission statement or guiding document the language is at a high level.  Furthermore it should be placed at a literacy level that is applicable to all parents.  I think all students and parents need a standard that is expected from all learners regardless of their learning ability.

# data[].attributes.body
I particularly like the idea of our students leaving KISD being financially literate. This is something that they may have been lacking in the past. These are skills that they will find invaluable no matter where their path takes them, college, job etc.

This is a great document. I love how each section in this profile has the "And exhibiting..." portion with traits/values/qualities. I know that some people have expressed concerns about whether young elementary age children would know words such as zest, grit, perseverance, and resilience, but I've worked with 6-8 year old children in the First Tee program and they can tell you all about integrity, perseverance, confidence and the other core values.

I like how "simple" and direct the profile is, especially the clarity in categories and descriptors for the Profile of a Learner. I like that this fits for all of us, from those entering as first time students, to those exiting, to those of us who work here.  I reviewed this with some 8th grade and high school students, and one of the high school students asked, "Shouldn't this say 'Successful Learner" - which led to some great discussion. My 8th grade students said they weren't sure what "zest" and "grit" meant - saying that those are "adult" words, "not what we would say." One phrase confused all the students I asked. While I appreciate the phrase "failing forward" - the students seemed confused about that, wondering if that is when a teacher says, "I know some of you didn't get it, but we have to move on." Needless to say, we discussed what failing forward really means. My favorite phrase of all though is "Insatiably desires to improve and grow..."

Great traits described! There needs to be a solid roll-out plan to "define" how students/teachers/parents will know what each means and how we can help students achieve the lofty learner descriptions from each section. I don't think it should be taken for granted that "all" have the same level of understandings.

This term should be included in this profile as it reflects our students' voice... Maybe next to Empathy and Cultural Responsiveness?

Grit is very similar to perseverance and it may be a word that are english language learners and parents wouldn't understand. Similar thoughts on transparency, suggest honesty has less of a implied meaning.

Everything listed are things we want for our learners, but the level of the language used may be hard for all our students to understand.

I wonder if our students will understand some of these terms. A few of them (like "failing forward" and "cultural responsiveness") may not be fully understood by students or even their parents. Although there is a glossary, that seems to take away from the purpose of the document. Perhaps simplified language would make this more accessible for all students.

I do believe that the district has outlined characteristics that go with the mission of Promise 2 Purpose.  Pathway Explorer sounds like we are developing learners who are disciplined enough to create and develop the skills needed for the next generation.  I hope we will allow these learners to develop their innovative and creative skills.  This may need curriculum as well as instructional adjustments.
Equipped Scholar is what we have to intentionally teach for our learners to be successful in a global world. I especially like empathy, culturally responsive, adaptability, and optimism.
Values-Driven Leader - Character development is key to producing leaders that will make a great and positive impact  on the world.
Forever Learner - Failing Forward is something I think has been neglected and we need to key in on this concept - taking risks and willingness to try.

# data[].attributes.body
-I do feel as though some of the language being used is high level but I do love the detail and focus for the learner.
-With this profile, we then have to ensure that our curriculum will support and encourage these qualities.  "global thinker, goal oriented, problem solver, initiative, thinking critically" all go beyond teacher guided instruction and lend themselves to more student centered, differentiated, and project based learning opportunities for all.  We really need to hold ourselves accountable as educators and rethink our current model for lesson delivery.

The profile communicates a comprehensive picture of a learner! I would consider adding cultural awareness in addition to cultural responsiveness.  The awareness indicates the learner has the ABILITY to recognize the different beliefs, values and customs that someone has based on that person's origins, and it allows a person to build more successful personal and professional relationships in a diverse environment, meaning we would need to incorporate these skills into the educational instruction of the learner

Pathway Explorers - Students are guided to select career pathways very early in the educational process.  How do we provide a multitude of opportunities for learners to understand their interests?
Equipped Scholar - See ideas for training students in conflict resolution.
Values Driven Leadership - How do we recognize and develop leadership skills in introverted learners?  Provide opportunities for servant leadership.
Forever Learners - We should be intentional about promoting student self-care self care and resilience. We must consider the whole child, including social determinants of health and ability to access learning.

As we speak about "thinking "we" not "me", I think that is truly an important concept that should be instilled in our up and coming future leaders (our students).
