Portrait of a Graduate at Poplar Tree
"I grew, I can prove it, here's why it matters!"
At Poplar Tree, we allow our students to engage in meaningful learning that gives them many opportunities to practice using real-world, Portrait of a Graduate (PoG) skills which include:
- Communicator
- Collaborator
- Ethical & Global Citizen
- Creative & Critical Thinkers
- Goal-Directed & Resilient Individual
You can learn more about PoG here!
The FCPS communications department came out and interviewed some of our students about Portrait of a Graduate in order to celebrate it's 10 year anniversary! In addition, some of our students were invited to join a panel of students at the 2024 FCPS Portrait of a Graduate conference where they spoke in front of a room full of FCPS educators sharing how Portrait of a Graduate helps them in school and out! You can see the video and photos from the conference below!
