East Hampton Public Schools: Moving "From Vision to Action"
East Hampton Public Schools is a learning community that is focused on building schools that meet the needs of modern learners. The district recently engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process - East Hampton 2025: From Vision to Action - in order to establish a vision “to prepare and inspire students to be innovative, responsible, contributing members of an ever-changing global society.”
A critical part of East Hampton’s future-focused work is the development of a Profile of the Graduate which outlines the skills, knowledge, and dispositions all learners need to succeed in college, the community, and careers. The Profile of the Graduate - which aligns with NEASC’s 2020 Standards focus on the Vision of the Graduate - helps to support the development of knowledgeable, ethical, self-directed problem solvers and innovators.
East Hampton has developed a process by which students explore each of the Profile of the Graduate competencies with increasing complexity throughout their PreK-12 learning journey.
