Portrait of a Graduate	The campus uses only district indicators to indicate outcomes for graduation or for the transition to the next school level (e.g., elementary to middle school). A portrait of a graduate has been created but did not include all stakeholders in the process.	The campus has established a portrait of a graduate with input from nearly all stakeholders. The portrait of a graduate includes developmentally appropriate competency statements that are teachable, learnable, practicable, measurable, and transferable. There are systems in place to operationalize the portrait of a graduate that include key experiences and robust assessments that measure student proficiency on all competencies.
Learner Profile + Digital Portfolio	Learners may or may not have a learner profile, but they are not actively engaged in progress monitoring nor are their artifacts of evidence of mastery being captured in a portfolio.	Students have a learner profile which they access regularly to monitor their progress towards mastery of all graduation outcomes. Students have a digital portfolio where they capture artifacts of their evidence of mastery of graduation outcomes. The learner profiles and digital portfolios are part of the performance assessment system that measure all portrait of a graduate competencies at all grade levels.
Students as Self-Directed Learners	There are few opportunities for students to make decisions about their learning. Instruction is carried out mainly in a whole group structure.	Students are active in decision making about their learning experiences through goal setting and progress monitoring, choices about when and how to demonstrate mastery, and choices about how to complete tasks, etc.
Students as Digital Citizens	Students might be aware of the idea of digital citizenship, but it does not go beyond simple rules for legal and ethical behavior.	Students are aware of their digital identity and are supported in cultivating a positive and productive digital presence while abiding by legal and ethical norms.
