Portrait of a Global Citizen (PGC)

At the heart of the Middletown Foundational Frameworks is the Portrait of a Global Citizen (PGC). This articulates the specific skills and dispositions that we strive for all MPS graduates to possess upon leaving our schools.

Our portrait is comprised of seven (7) attributes, each with its own definition. The seven attributes state that MPS graduates will be highly-developed in collaboration, communication, creativity and innovation, critical consciousness, critical thinking and inquiry, empathy and self-awareness, and problem solving.

Each attribute is further broken down into Grade band “I can…” statements. Each grade band states what students will be able to do proficiently by the time they leave that band. With the overview and “I can…” statements established, we can begin to actualize the portrait.
