Madera Unified Profile
The Challenge
Madera Unified School District sought to transition from a traditional academic model to a modern, career-ready system. The primary challenge was defining a Graduate Profile that would bridge the gap between classroom learning and the demands of the 21st-century workforce.
Implementation
Theron Cosgrave led a decade-long journey of strategic design and change management. This included the operationalization of the Portrait of a Learner, the development of performance-based assessments, and the integration of real-world learning experiences across all academic disciplines.
Outcomes
The partnership resulted in a district-wide learner profile that has become a benchmark for career readiness. The outcomes include a significant increase in student engagement and a measurable improvement in post-secondary success rates.
