Portrait of a Graduate
North Kansas City Schools will continue to implement our Portrait of a Graduate initiative this year. This program is designed to teach students different life skills that they can use to be successful.
Portrait of a Graduate Competencies: March=Problem Solving
This month’s skill focuses on problem solving. Students will be able to persevere to better understand their own challenges, recognize a problem and come up with multiple solutions, and reflect on their past success and failures to solve a new problem. Nashua will encourage problem solving by teaching classroom lessons, recognizing when a problem arises and verbalizing possible solutions, and setting weekly action steps. Problem solving can be supported at home by talking about possible solutions as problems arise.
