¿Por qué necesitamos un retrato?
Why have a portrait?
¿Cuáles son los valores que deben impulsar nuestro sistema educativo para garantizar que los nevadenses estén preparados para vivir una buena vida y construir comunidades prósperas? ¿Qué significa preparar a los alumnos para aceptar el mundo tal como es y afrontar los complejos desafíos y oportunidades que se avecinan?
El mundo está más conectado que nunca y la tecnología continúa revelando la naturaleza esencial de la humanidad en un mundo en rápida evolución.
Lo que podría parecer un futuro distante para nuestra generación actual de líderes es la realidad de la vida de nuestros hijos, quienes deberán llevar consigo la mentalidad, las habilidades y las herramientas para resolver los desafíos altamente complejos que se presentarán en los próximos 100 años.
"What mindsets and skills do learners need?"
600+ Nevadans completed surveys and participated in virtual and in-person feedback conversations.
More than fifty one-on-one interviews were also held with Nevadans. These conversations shaped the final portrait.

The Future Is Now — and We’re Building It Together
Nevada’s vision for learner-centered, future-ready education isn’t just an idea — it’s already in motion. Over the past five years, communities, educators, students, families, and leaders have come together to co-design the Portrait of a Nevada Learner and now we are taking the next steps to activate it in classrooms across our state. Join us in shaping what comes next.
