Every student should graduate from high school ready for success in post-secondary education and the twenty-first century workplace.
Naviance helps schools and districts use data to promote, measure and improve college and career readiness. Naviance Succeed is an innovative, high-impact solution that becomes part of the fabric of schools where it’s deployed — linking students, teachers, counselors, administrators and families in pursuit of a shared mission of preparing every student for college and career success.
Naviance Succeed works because we:
- Are passionate about preparing every student for college and career success
- Provide access to accurate, reliable data about every student
- Deliver expert guidance
- Engage all stakeholders in a way that results in high levels of usage
- Connect with all students particularly those who are most at risk need an adult to take an active interest
- Encourage students to take ownership of their learning
- Have established innovative linkages with higher education
- Are not a portal, not a career information system
- Do not have any ulterior motives (promoting specific colleges or loans, accepting advertising, etc.)
- Link directly with the authoritative data sources
- Provide access to the entire Naviance Network (tens of thousands of peers in thousands of schools contributing to the Naviance Network; benchmarking data from thousands of schools)
- Automate time-intensive processes providing more direct student interactions
- Incorporate powerful resources for student self-assessment and reflection
- Encourage students through the use of data (students can see the benefits and self-select a more rigorous curriculum)
Unlike college access portals, career information systems and other on-line reference materials, Naviance Succeed is a powerful decision support system that is integrated directly into a school or district’s technology infrastructure. Demographic and academic achievement data from a school or district student information system, college and career readiness indicators from testing agencies, personality and interest profile results, survey data from students and families and much more come together in a comprehensive on-line portfolio that starts as early as elementary school and is accessible to school and district staff, students and families. This portfolio is maintained in a safe and secure environment, free from advertising and sponsorships and available to all students within a school regardless of their personal financial resources.
In the course of compiling data to help support better decisions, Naviance Succeed enables schools and districts to streamline formerly labor-intensive, manual processes such as on-line surveys, group e-mail communication, time tracking and more. Naviance Succeed even includes the most widely accepted electronic document delivery system for schools and colleges, Naviance eDocs, which allows schools to send all school forms, recommendations, transcripts and profiles to more than 1,200 colleges — including every Common Application member institution — at no additional charge!
When Naviance Succeed is deployed fully in a school or district, every student and family builds and manages a personalized success plan that links the student’s daily work to her future goals. As milestones are met or missed and as goals evolve, the plan is updated automatically — much as a car’s navigation system recalculates a route when conditions change. This plan encourages the student to take ownership of her own learning, while giving the adults in her life the information and insight they need to help her stay on track.
The more complete each student’s portfolio becomes, the more data Naviance Succeed can use to help the school and district build success profiles — identifying the academic and behavioral indicators that are most predictive of future success. School and district administrators can use these data to support program evaluation and school improvement initiatives.
With nearly ten years of experience serving more than 4,200 schools, 100,000 educators and 7 million students, we have developed deep expertise in helping Naviance Network members and their students achieve success.
