College, Career, and Life Readiness Competencies
Instill Social Emotional Learning
When students develop grit and perseverance, they are better able to overcome obstacles they are faced with in school and life. Building social emotional learning skills helps students understand their strengths and begin to build goals toward a future that best fits their interests and skills.
Instill social emotional learning skills that help students:
- Discover their strengths and interests
- Develop emotional intelligence, grit, and self-awareness
- Learn how to make informed decisions
Expand Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills enable students to be successful in school and work as they learn to advocate for themselves. Students who can identify and rely on a support system have stronger postsecondary outcomes.
Expand students’ interpersonal skills so they can:
- Collaborate in teams productively
- Build meaningful connections
- Communicate more effectively
- Manage their online presence more responsibly
Develop Academic Skills
Academic behaviors and study habits are a direct predictor of higher grades, more so than a student’s test scores or background. When students take more challenging courses, they’re more likely to be ready for college, career, and life.
Develop academic skills so students can:
- Expand learning styles and strengthen study skills
- Prepare better for tests and assessments
- Improve academic goal setting and course planning
Cultivate Career Knowledge
By understanding the characteristics of various careers and the training required, students can build their pathway to a meaningful career that is based on their strengths and interests.
Cultivate students’ career knowledge to help:
- Explore and understand career opportunities
- Align interests and strengths
- Set career goals and plans
Grow College Knowledge
College knowledge incorporates all of the skills students need to identify their best-fit postsecondary education. It also encompasses the steps needed to achieve students’ college goals.
Grow college knowledge so students can:
- Explore options after high school
- Determine the college options that align to goals and needs
- Easily navigate the college application process
- Find ways to pay for college
Promote Transition Skills
Transitions are a part of life, from elementary school to work life. Building skills to handle major transitions points can help students adapt to new situations successfully. This includes skills to cope with changes and to persist when faced with obstacles.
Promote transition skills so students can:
- Adapt to school transitions
- Prepare for college and adulthood
- Manage changes in their lives
Often times we told our students to study for the SATs or to take a class because this class is good, but we didn’t give them a context or a reason why. We’ve taken an inventory of who our students are. That inventory involves them being explorers of their own personal journeys.
