  • TEACHING THE SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN TODAY’S WORLD

    In order to ensure that all HISD students are Global Graduates and ready for the world, teachers must provide them access to personalized learning opportunities that will allow them to develop the skills needed to succeed in today’s global economy.

    In an effort to transform instruction, HISD has created a teacher profile that contains a list of six desired competencies to guide teachers through professional learning, support, and development. Leaders in HISD are committed to ensuring that teachers have the resources, professional development, and support needed to develop these competencies.
