A Collaborative Approach: Integrating Naviance at Middle School and High School
This document outlines a collaborative approach between a middle school and high school to integrate the Naviance program at both institutions to develop a college and career readiness culture. It discusses setting CCR as a priority, using Naviance to facilitate collaboration, and the importance of student engagement in rigorous academics. It provides timelines and implementation plans for rolling out Naviance at each grade level. The goal is to better prepare students for post-secondary education and careers through career exploration, academic planning, and developing key cognitive and non-cognitive skills throughout their K-12 education.
