The Graduate Profile was <br /> developed through a process involving workshops, listening sessions, and feedback <br /> from over 200 community members, students, and staff. Additionally, the Research and <br /> Evaluation team took more than 30 hours of audio and about 1,000 of transcripts in <br /> feedback, with additional input from student and staff sessions to help further refine the <br /> Graduate profile and ensure it aligns with the needs and aspirations of those it serves. <br /> The SAUSD Learning Model is designed to achieve the outcomes of the Graduate <br /> Profile through personalized, authentic, competency-based, and inclusive approach to <br /> education, focusing on six key attributes to equip students with the skills needed to <br /> succeed in a rapidly changing world: <br /> 1.
