Global Graduate Student Survey Report, 2018-2019. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
The Global Graduate initiative was developed to help Houston Independent School District (HISD) students be successful in college and in the global workforce upon graduation. The program emphasizes six characteristics in its Global Graduate Profile: A Leader, Adaptable and Productive, A College-Ready Learner, A Critical Thinker, A Skilled Communicator, and A Responsible Decision Maker. Board Goal #2 states that the percentage of graduates meeting the Global Graduate standards as measured by the College and Career Readiness component of the Texas accountability system will increase three percentage points annually from the 2017 baseline of 52 percent to 67 percent by 2022. To see how well the district is doing in preparing students to be Global Graduates, a survey was administered through the HUB to all HISD high school students during the Spring 2019 semester. (April 8-May 3, 2019). The same survey was administered through Survey Monkey® in Spring 2018 (April 2-20, 2018). This report analyzes survey responses collected from the 2019 administration and changes from the Spring 2018 administration.
