From SGUSD’s Portrait of a Graduate on being a Communicator:
“The San Gabriel Unified student can write and speak about diverse topics and respond appropriately to multiple audiences. They are able to share ideas through several mediums, be open-minded to opposing ideas, and provide solid evidence for their claims. They are listeners as well as speakers. The San Gabriel Unified student understands that their ability to communicate has consequences and that there is power in accurate two-way communication.”
