Portraits of a Graduate (POG) are frameworks, adopted by a state or district, that defines the skills and competencies students should have upon graduation, extending beyond academic benchmarks. As part of a CASEL report this year, Tucker, director of policy, highlights how states and districts are adopting POGs to equip students with essential "durable skills" like critical thinking, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. About 20 states have created these frameworks. He explains that these portraits are developed with input from diverse stakeholders—educators, parents, employers, and community members—and aim to address the disconnect between what schools teach and the skills employers and society demand. Some states like Nevada, North Carolina, and Utah are implementing these frameworks and aligning them with career and social-emotional learning goals. In this episode, Tucker calls on educators and policymakers to embrace Portraits of a Graduate as a means to foster an equitable, relevant, and future-focused education. -- Harvard Graduate School of Education Website: http://www.gse.harvard.edu Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvardeducation/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarvardEducation/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hgse Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe.

Xu studies the impact of AI on children’s development. She highlights that children can learn effectively from AI when it’s designed with proper learning principles. For instance, AI companions that ask questions during activities like reading can improve children's comprehension and vocabulary. However, Xu emphasizes that while AI can simulate some educational interactions, it cannot fully replicate the deeper engagement and relationship-building that come from human interaction, particularly when it comes to follow-up questions or personalized conversations that are important for language and social development. In this EdCast episode, Xu shares what we know so far about how AI impacts children’s development and the importance of AI literacy, where children are taught to understand the limitations and potential misinformation from AI, as well as the need for both developers and educators to promote critical evaluation of AI-generated content. -- Harvard Graduate School of Education Website: http://www.gse.harvard.edu Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvardeducation/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarvardEducation/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hgse Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe.

Description: Sexual misconduct by school employees is more prevalent than many of us want to believe, according to Charol Shakeshaft, a distinguished professor in the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University. Many times, school culture gets in the way of stopping this abuse from happening. For decades, Shakeshaft has studied sexual misconduct by school employees and served as a lead expert witness in hundreds of cases. In her book, “Organizational Betrayal: How Schools Enable Sexual Misconduct and How to Stop It,” she unveils a problem that is deeply entrenched in our schools and calls for greater awareness and action to protect students. In this episode, Shakeshaft stresses how educators are responsible for reporting suspicious actions without having to determine whether the behavior is truly harmful and shares strategies for educators and families to recognize, report, and prevent these incidents from happening in their schools. -- Harvard Graduate School of Education Website: http://www.gse.harvard.edu Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvardeducation/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarvardEducation/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hgse Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe.

As a position with high turnover and equally high isolation at times, Lindsay Whorton, The Holdsworth Center president, says we need to be more upfront about the role if we are to attract, support, and retain leaders. In this episode, Whorton discusses whether the superintendent position has changed and why it’s necessary to reframe the role to inspire a new generation of leaders to step into this role. -- Harvard Graduate School of Education Website: http://www.gse.harvard.edu Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harvardeducation/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarvardEducation/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hgse Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe.
