MONTHLY VIRTUAL LEARNING
MONTHLY VIRTUAL LEARNING
75 minutes | 1:00–2:15 PM
Our monthly virtual sessions keep the learning and collaboration moving throughout the year.
Sessions will respond to the implementation questions districts are facing as they bring their Portraits of a Graduate to life—drawing on district practices, emerging NYSED direction, practical tools, and the collective experience of the RRNY network.
Each session is designed to include:
District Practice — See how another district is approaching the work.
Shared Learning — Explore an implementation question, practice, or emerging issue.
Peer Conversation — Learn from colleagues confronting similar challenges.
Application — Identify what the learning could mean in your own district.

Learning From Districts. Learning With Districts.
Learning From Districts. Learning With Districts.
Redefining Ready NY is built around a simple belief:
No district should have to figure this out alone.
No district should have to figure this out alone.
Our network brings educators and leaders together to see promising practices firsthand, learn directly from students and practitioners, examine evidence, ask difficult questions, and determine what ideas can be adapted to their own local context.
We don't visit districts looking for a model to copy.
We study the work to understand what makes it work.

See student agency, authentic learning, and evidence of readiness in action.
This fall, Redefining Ready NY cohort members will gather at Tech Valley High School for an immersive learning experience focused on what happens when students are trusted with meaningful work.
Participants will observe learning in action, engage with students and educators, examine how authentic learning experiences develop and reveal Portrait competencies, and work alongside colleagues to identify ideas worth adapting in their own districts.
The goal isn't to leave saying:
“We should become Tech Valley.”
The goal is to leave asking:
“What can we learn from this—and what could it look like in our district?”

From Vision to Implementation
From Vision to Implementation
In August, district leaders from across New York gathered for the Redefining Ready NY Summer Institute—two days dedicated to moving beyond discussion of the Portrait of a Graduate toward the practical work of implementation.
Teams examined their existing strengths, learned from other districts, explored readiness competencies and evidence systems, engaged directly with NYSED leadership, and began identifying their own pathways forward.
The Institute centered on one essential idea:
Implementation—not policy—will determine success.
Implementation—not policy—will determine success.
And one essential leadership question:
What is the highest-leverage move our district can make this year to bring the Portrait of a Graduate to life?
