Profile of a One91 Learner
Developed in collaboration with community members, families, students and staff — and born out of the district’s Strategic Roadmap — the District 191 Profile of a Learner provides a clear explanation of the knowledge sets, skills, and abilities that District 191 students will gain as they progress from Pre-Kindergarten through high school graduation.
If the Roadmap is the “how” we do things, the Profile is the “what” for students in PreK through 12th grade. It lays out clearly that District 191 students will be:
- Academically Ready
- Civic-Minded
- Culturally Proficient
- Financially Ready
- Future Ready
- Life Ready
- Workplace Ready

Looking ahead, we’ll use the Profile to inform our curriculum all along the PreK-12 continuum. Over the next year and beyond, a big part of our work will be identifying where and how we’re instilling these attributes in our students, and addressing any gaps. As we fine-tune this process, we will rely on our valued community partners to continue to provide expertise, feedback, and student experiences, as we support the comprehensive needs of whole student development.
Superintendent's Column
In our schools, student agency is reflected from the youngest grades, such as during the regular Rahn Enrichment Academies, all the way to high school, where student input helped our English department completely reimagine course offerings to grow interest and engagement.
