The challenges facing schools and students today are widespread
Why We’re Here
Students have strong aspirations, but there is a disconnect between what students want to do with their lives and knowing how they will get there.
The Student’s Perspective
How Will I Get There?Once students figure out what they want to do, they have to determine how to get there
Who Am I?Many students struggle to identify areas of strength
What Do I Want To Be?Those who recognize their
skills are often unsure where to apply them
Will I Be Successful?Students want to know if
they will have the qualifications and skills to
reach their goals
Educators wish to help all students reach their full potential. But how?
