Leaders. Transforming Education.

At Battelle for Kids, we help education leaders and school systems solve the complex issues of today and tomorrow. We offer solutions to promote enduring transformation and opportunities for future-ready, deeper learning for every student.

This begins by establishing the community’s vision for every student. By creating a North Star for system transformation—the Portrait of a Graduate—the community identifies the skills, dispositions, and competencies students need in this rapidly changing and increasingly complex world.

From there, we partner with school systems to determine the strategies necessary to bring the vision to life by putting the Portrait to practice.

Portrait of a Graduate

Your North Star for System Transformation

The first step in transforming your school system is establishing a shared vision of future-ready, deeper learning for every student – your Portrait of a Graduate.

Locally developed and globally positioned, a school system’s Portrait of a Graduate is developed with the community to identify the skills, dispositions, and competencies students need for success in this rapidly changing, complex world. We help school systems engage their communities to develop a collective vision, which serves as the North Star for system transformation.
