New York Inspired: Designing the Graduate of Tomorrow is a two-day virtual summit focused on understanding and advancing New York’s Portrait of a Graduate. Day One will explore the foundation of the Portrait of a Graduate—what it is, how it was developed, and what it means for schools across the state. Day Two will take a deeper dive into implementation, examining how districts can intentionally connect the Portrait to career readiness in K–12 settings. Participants will learn about successful programs already in place and discover statewide resources that support meaningful pathways between learning and future careers. This summit is designed to equip educational leaders with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to bring the Portrait of a Graduate to life in their own communities
