From Vision to Practice: Preparing Students for Post-Secondary Success
Recorded Nov 13, 2025 | 1:00pm ET
Preparing students for life after graduation requires more than academic success; it demands intentional development of real-world skills.
In this session, we’ll explore practical ways educators and school leaders can build post-secondary readiness through everyday instruction and whole-school practices.
Participants will examine key skill domains that support college, career, and life success, discover strategies to embed these skills across content areas, and learn when and how to teach them explicitly. We’ll also discuss leadership strategies for implementing a Portrait of a Graduate initiative to align vision, instruction, and student outcomes.
