Profile of a Graduate Wellesley Public Schools partnered with EdLeader21 a national organization focused on transforming educational opportunities for students through its mission to develop 21st Century skills. An important starting point in this work is for districts to develop a “Profile of a Graduate” (POG) that clearly defines the trajectory for all students PreK-12.
