Three dimensions of PoG implementation readiness
The Readiness Assessment evaluates your district across 18 research-grounded questions spanning three critical dimensions. Each dimension maps directly to the barriers districts face when moving from a vision document to daily classroom practice.
Vision Foundation & Maturity
- How well-defined is your Portrait of a Graduate?
- Is it board-adopted and community-informed?
- Does it name specific, measurable competencies?
- How widely is it understood across your system?
- Is there a shared vocabulary for the competencies?
- Are competencies mapped to grade-level progressions?
Instructional Alignment & Practice
- Are teachers embedding competencies into lessons?
- Do you have an instructional design layer for PoG?
- Is there a system for capturing evidence of growth?
- Are rubrics calibrated across schools?
- Do students self-assess against competencies?
- Is professional development aligned to PoG?
Capacity & Infrastructure
- Is there a technology platform supporting PoG?
- Can you report competency data at every level?
- Is there leadership capacity to sustain the work?
- Are budget resources allocated for implementation?
- Is there a multi-year implementation roadmap?
- Can you connect PoG to workforce readiness?
