Presenter: Terri Tchorzynski As students approach their final years of high school, the inevitable question continues to surface - “what are you going to do after you graduate?” In order to best prepare our students to answer this question and help support them in those desired plans, we must start approaching this conversation at a much younger age. To best equip our students with the attitude, knowledge, and skills they need to be successful in their future careers, it is imperative that a comprehensive, data-driven K-12 career development program is established. This interactive professional learning session will dive into the core elements of a K-12 program that supports the developmental stages of students, strengthens both the internal and external capacity of the whole-child, integrates social-emotional and social justice standards, and utilizes data to assess postsecondary preparedness and success. Discover best practices, resources, and tools that can be used immediately to support the development of a college/career readiness program that is designed to meet the unique needs of ALL students. Session Objectives: • Identify the core elements of a districtwide K-12 career development program that is established around the ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors, social-emotional competencies, and business/labor market needs. • Align college and career readiness initiatives to a multi-tiered system of support to ensure equity and access for all students and close opportunity gaps • Discover developmentally appropriate data-driven practices that can be used to strengthen postsecondary preparedness.
