Why have a portrait?
¿Por qué necesitamos un retrato?
¿Cuáles son los valores que deben impulsar nuestro sistema educativo para garantizar que los nevadenses estén preparados para vivir una buena vida y construir comunidades prósperas? ¿Qué significa preparar a los alumnos para aceptar el mundo tal como es y afrontar los complejos desafíos y oportunidades que se avecinan?
El mundo está más conectado que nunca y la tecnología continúa revelando la naturaleza esencial de la humanidad en un mundo en rápida evolución.
Lo que podría parecer un futuro distante para nuestra generación actual de líderes es la realidad de la vida de nuestros hijos, quienes deberán llevar consigo la mentalidad, las habilidades y las herramientas para resolver los desafíos altamente complejos que se presentarán en los próximos 100 años.
Who created the portrait?
We heard from Nevadans about the skills and mindsets that matter most to them.
Nevada educators, learners, families, businesses, and community members came together to imagine the future of learning, co-design the Portrait of a Nevada Learner, and create action plans for how to bring it to life.

How will I thrive?
How do I build and sustain relationships and community?
How will I grow in my learning?
How will I contribute to make an impact?
“Most of my classes and assessments are based on memory and not actual growth of how concepts are grasped.”
