Strengthen Your Support for Student Postsecondary Readiness
College and career readiness programs have traditionally focused on academic knowledge and behaviors. But social and emotional learning, interpersonal skills, and transition skills are equally critical. Today’s students need a comprehensive approach to becoming college, career, and life ready.
College Knowledge
Students need skills to explore the postsecondary options that are right for them.
Career Knowledge
By understanding various career options and the training necessary, students can begin to build their pathway to a meaningful career.
Academic Skills
Developing strong academic abilities, such as efficient study skills, thoughtful course planning, and goal setting, begins in elementary grades and can help students prepare themselves for future success.
Interpersonal Skills
Students with strong support systems build positive interpersonal relationships and are better advocates for themselves.
Transition Skills
Transitions are inevitable, from elementary school to career placement. Building coping skills can help students adapt more successfully to new situations.
Social and Emotional Learning
Understanding and regulating emotion, developing a healthy sense of self, and treating others with respect and empathy are essential skills for every person.

Not every one of our students is going to go on to a four-year college, but instead they may go to technical school, the military, or community college. I love Naviance because it doesn’t prescribe things for kids.
