Schools traditionally focus on academic skills, career knowledge, and college knowledge to determine college and career readiness (CCR). For some students, these measures are enough. They understand the importance of succeeding in classes and preparing for standardized tests. They also know how to search for college scholarships available to them, and they move forward with determining a college major and submitting applications before they complete their senior year.

However, many other students would benefit from additional support that considers a more holistic picture of their learning and development. Expanding CCR to include social emotional learning and essential life skills can help educators ensure that students are college, career, and life ready (CCLR), priming them for success beyond high school.

In this Naviance by PowerSchool whitepaper, we explore how to support students as they learn to understand their strengths, overcome obstacles, and set goals effectively. These life skills improve their prospects in college, military service, or wherever their journey takes them following high school graduation.

Read this whitepaper to learn how to expand your focus to CCLR by:

• Making the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) connection
• Collaborating with the local workforce and business leaders
• Focusing early on student transitions to set them up for success
• Thinking outside the box of standard CCR measures
• Making data-driven decisions to support student growth
