TSD Portrait of a Learner
The Portrait of a Learner design process engaged our educational system and the broader community - educators, students, elected officials, community members, families - to help build a unifying, collective vision for our students. The 6 C's that make up the TSD Portrait of a Learner seek to tie together the mission, vision, and core values of the district.
