In this episode of *CA Today*, we sit down with Tim Cox, Deputy Superintendent of Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES (CABOCES) and Tim Clarke, Assistant Superintendent of ISS of CABOCES, to dive into the upcoming changes to graduation requirements and the creation of the "Portrait of a Graduate".

We explore how the "Portrait of a Graduate" aims to shift graduation requirements away from traditional exams and credits, focusing instead on the essential skills and competencies students need to succeed in life beyond high school. From culturally responsive education to hands-on learning experiences like capstone projects and community service, Tim shares how the new vision will shape students’ educational journeys and better prepare them for their futures.

Listen in to learn how this visionary approach balances flexibility with high standards and why it represents an exciting future for students, educators, and districts across New York State!
