Phase 2. Design
Crafting a Vision for Tomorrow's Graduates
Creation of a Profile of a Graduate:
- Engage district and building leaders in a co-creation process
- Analyze and interpret data from community listening sessions and surveys
- Dive deep into the district’s mission and vision
- Agree upon the skills and dispositions essential for every graduate
- Iterate the design based on feedback from a dedicated working committee
- Finalize and present the profile to the community

Participants Walk Away With
At the end of our work, districts will have a graduate profile that will help to lead the mission and vision of your school community. World Savvy has additional programming to further support the implementation of a graduate profile to ensure it authentically lives in every building and classroom throughout a district.
What is Global Competence?
Global competence refers to the skills, values, and behaviors that empower individuals to navigate and thrive in a diverse, complex, and ever-changing world. It prepares everyone to be responsible citizens—locally and globally—creative problem solvers, and active participants in a fast-changing, interconnected economy.
A partnership with World Savvy provides multiple supports, including coaching and frameworks that educators need to transform their classrooms and embed global competence into teaching, learning, and school culture—to create future-ready schools where students develop the skills and dispositions they need for success—now and in the future.
