Quick Summary / Abstract: Staff will present an informational report on our District Graduate Profile.
Background: Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) has a long standing tradition of offering opportunities so that each student will graduate with the skills needed to contribute and thrive in a changing world. In addition to LVJUSD’s record of rigorous academic standards and extracurricular opportunities, we also believe all of our students, Transitional Kindergarten through 12th grade, will benefit from cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competencies. LVJUSD has identified these competencies in our Graduate Profile.

A graduate profile is to be used as a “true north,” articulating a guiding set of abilities and aptitudes to help our students achieve the elements of our District vision. Unlike a mission or vision statement, a graduate profile is a document that a school or district uses to specify the cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competencies that students should have when they graduate. Co-created with input from key educational partners, this profile is a clear visualization of priority goals for teaching and learning that can be easily communicated to students, parents, faculty, and staff to align their collective efforts.
Status The process to establish the LVJUSD Graduate Profile consisted of a steering committee composed of school administrators, district leaders, teachers, counselors, students, parents, and a member of our Board of Education. Additionally the process included input from local colleges and universities, local businesses, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Students at each high school were provided with presentations and the ability to provide input. Further, the 2022 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Listening Campaign Thoughtexchange Summary was reviewed for educational partner input. The Graduate Profile aligns with the state education priorities described in the LCAP, particularly priorities (4) Student Achievement, (5) Student Engagement, and (6) School Climate. The process described has resulted in general support among the included community partner groups and optimism that the implementation of the Profile will help unify our current initiatives as well as align initiatives for the future.
Fiscal Impact There is no impact to the General Fund.
