Dinowitz interrupts to ask what schools are currently doing Portrait work. Giunta backs up to explain system-readiness efforts, then turns to Dr. Alan Cheng to describe the core team and steering committee leading the work.

Eric Dinowitz

Can I pause one second just to...

Eric Dinowitz

What you said came into the schools.

Eric Dinowitz

What schools are currently doing portrait of a graduate work?

Danielle Giunta

All right, let me back out.

Danielle Giunta

So let me answer some of the question around what have we been doing to get the system ready for portrait of graduate?

Danielle Giunta

That is really what I'm seeking to answer first.

Danielle Giunta

And then to your question, we have...

Danielle Giunta

Similar to the district that Dr.

Danielle Giunta

Chang was leading, lots of robust examples and the work of Students Pathways.

Danielle Giunta

This work is in our schools.

Danielle Giunta

But first, let us back out into what the plan is and how we've been approaching it in our schools.

Danielle Giunta

So I'll start with Alan Chang talking a little bit about our core team, our steering committee, and then Katie can talk a little bit about the content that we've been making sure our

Danielle Giunta

superintendents, their teams, and all of our principals have engaged in.
