Redefining Ready: How K-12 Schools Are Shifting a Focus to Life Readiness

Today's schools are taking a fresh approach to what it means to be ready for life after graduation. It's not just about good grades anymore. Schools are now focusing on giving students a mix of skills and knowledge that will help them succeed in college, in their future careers, and in life in general. This well-rounded approach is crucial for preparing students to handle the challenges and opportunities they will face going forward.

In this webinar, Scott Carr, a College and Career Readiness expert, delves into the evolving educational strategies. He highlights how schools across the country are implementing the "Portrait of a Graduate" approach, a key initiative in preparing students comprehensively for their futures beyond school.
