Regional Webinar: From Poster to Practice Part 1: Why PBL is Key to Building PoG Competencies

A Portrait of a Graduate (PoG) is a school or district's collective vision of the competencies and personal qualities students should possess when they graduate in order to be successful in the world beyond school.

  • A deep dive into two of the eight competencies in Defined's PoG, "Career Readiness" and "Academic Knowledge & Skills"
  • An overview of the Defined ecosystem and how our platforms measure PoG competencies and support the growth of these competencies through our career-connected PBL solutions

Featured Educator:
