New Mexico is redefining state graduation requirements to include a more holistic and authentic capstone assessment and learning experience, offered in addition to the state standardized assessment and is defined by community in a graduate profile. The educators on this panel worked alongside policymakers to develop the supports educators will need as they make this shift. The group will share their collaborative process, using Liberatory Design, and what the experience meant for them.
