We are extremely grateful to the Washington State community for their contributions and perspectives on aligning graduation requirements with the Washington Profile of a Graduate.  \nExecutive Summary  \nAs directed by SSB 5249 (Chapter 144, Laws of 2021), the state’s Mastery-based Learning (MBL) Work Group developed a Washington State Profile of a Graduate describing the cross disciplinary skills a student should have developed by the time they graduate high school. The Legislature charged the State Board of Education (SBE) with reviewing the Profile of a Graduate and submitting a report to the Legislature in December 2022 with findings and recommendations. The Legislature further authorized the SBE to make recommendations to align graduation requirements with the Profile of a Graduate. In addition to these alignment recommendations, the Board is also concluding three years of research on graduation pathway options, as directed by the Legislature ( HB 1599, Chapter 252, Laws of 2019), to determine if changes should be made to the system of graduation pathway options and make recommendations on reducing barriers to equitable access to graduation pathways.  \nTo inform the process of developing the recommendations for aligning graduation requirements with the Profile of a Graduate, the SBE held two series of listening sessions, in the spring to identify areas for recommendations, and in the fall to review draft recommendations. Several sessions were held specifically for students. In addition, SBE staff and members met with stakeholder groups and conducted an online survey to collect feedback on draft recommendations.
