Bring the Profile of a Virginia Graduate to Life
SpacesEDU by myBlueprint helps districts give students a place to collect, reflect on, and share evidence of growth in Virginia’s 5 C’s.
When students are in the driver's seat, documenting their learning and demonstrating progress toward competencies and skills, that's what future readiness really looks like.
A system that captures the complexity of learning and the rigor of thinking, while making mastery of state standards and Portrait competencies visible, is essential. And giving students continued access to that body of work beyond graduation so they can leverage it for their unique pathways is a real game-changer.

FAQs: The Profile of a Virginia Graduate, Evidence of Learning, and High-Quality Work-Based Learning
Why are Virginia districts focusing on the Profile of a Virginia Graduate?
Virginia’s Profile of a Virginia Graduate provides a statewide framework for helping students become ready for college, career, and life. It emphasizes content knowledge, workplace skills, community engagement and civic responsibility, and career exploration, alongside the 5 C’s: critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and citizenship.
For districts, the implementation challenge is making those outcomes visible in everyday student learning, not simply naming them in a strategic plan or graduate profile document.
