An Act developing a Portrait of a Graduate

Summary

The bill authorizes the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, working with school districts, SEL experts, the Massachusetts Association of School Psychologists, Wayfinder Inc., workforce development agencies, and others, to create a "Portrait of a Graduate." It would identify seven competencies—self‑awareness, adaptability, empathy, collaboration, agency, purpose, and responsible decision‑making—that schools would support students in developing before graduation.
