Graphic has the digital teaching & learning logo in the center with the 6 portrait of a graduate traits written around it on a multicolored background.

Welcome back to a new school year! We are so excited to have students and teachers back in the buildings. This year, our department is using the new Jordan District Portrait of a Graduate as our professional development themes for each month. August is a big introduction to the Portrait and each month we will dive into deeper into each trait with more detail.

The new Portrait of a Graduate in Jordan School District outlines the essential skills and characteristics that students should develop to succeed beyond their K-12 education. These traits include:

  • Curious Thinkers
  • Creative Problem Solvers
  • Engaged Citizens
  • Empathetic Communicators
  • Resilient Lifelong Learners
  • Responsible Teammates

The district believes that academic excellence alone is not enough; students must also cultivate these broader skills to thrive in any career path they choose. Digital tools, like Adobe Express, can play a pivotal role in helping students develop these traits. For example, in the following table are a couple of ideas of how you could use Adobe Express to practice some of these essential traits in the JSD Portrait of a Graduate.

Engaged Citizen: Use Adobe Express to have students create Public Service Announcements about an issue important to their community. Curious Thinker: Use Adobe Express to create a mini-documentary to ask questions about the world around us.
Curious Thinker: Create interactive PDFs with Adobe Acrobat to demonstrate student learning and curiosity. Empathetic Communicator: Students can craft digital storytelling projects that share personal narratives or highlight diverse cultural experiences.

Check back each month as we dive deeper into these characteristics and all the many ways we can use our Big 6 tools to help our students become better prepared to enter the 21st century world.
