New York's Portrait of a Graduate sets a bold vision. Students who are collaborative communicators, creative problem-solvers, and confident learners ready for what's next. But how do districts actually deliver those skills in K-8 classrooms, every day?


Join us for a conversation with Dr. Rebecca Grella, Science Coordinator at Brentwood Union Free School District, the largest suburban district in New York State, to see how hands-on, play-based learning with LEGO® Education is bringing the Portrait of a Graduate to life. You'll hear how Brentwood is leveraging LEGO Education to support its diverse learner population, including strategic use of ELL funding to drive collaboration, community engagement, and language development through play.


In this session, you'll:

• Experience the latest from LEGO Education and see what's new for K-8 classrooms
• Discover how hands-on, playful learning maps directly to NY's Portrait of a Graduate competencies
• Hear a real-world proof point from Brentwood on engaging ELL students and building durable skills

Whether you're refining your Portrait of a Graduate implementation, looking for high-impact tools for your ELL learners, or simply curious about what's new from LEGO Education, you’ll leave this session with practical ideas you can act on this year.
