Priority II: Career and College Readiness

We will work to ensure that all students are prepared for postsecondary success, whether that be in a career or continued education by providing access to a well-rounded education that develops a broad range of skills and competencies. We will provide access to rigorous coursework and real-world learning experiences, as well as opportunities for career exploration and guidance. 

Goal 1: By 2027, all students will have a 6-year plan (7-12th grade)

Year 1 Goals:

  • By 2024, we will enroll all 6th grade students in Naviance in the Spring and begin using its resources and tools.

  • By 2024, all middle school students will start a portfolio, and all high school students will use Naviance at least twice annually to interact with their 6-year plan.

  • By 2024, all 9th grader students will identify a career-related learning (CRL) area of interest in Naviance at the end of their school year as they forecast for 10th grade. 

Goal 2: By 2027, all classroom teachers will tie their units or instructional content to career and college readiness at least quarterly.

Year 1 Goals:

  • By 2024, Career and College Coordinators and Counselors will develop 8th grade career pathway overviews for forecasting.

  • By 2024, High School Career and College Coordinators will create systems for monitoring and supporting various career-related learning opportunities. Data will be used to expand options or connections via student requests.

Goal 3: By 2027, all students will have a post-secondary plan for at least two years out of high school and be prepared to execute it.

Year 1 Goals:

  • By 2024, all students served on (Individualized Education Programs) IEPs will have a post-high school plan for life success.

  • By 2024, community partnerships will increase by 15% to enable us to facilitate junior internships (approximately 100 students).
