5 Pillars of College & Career Readiness

Each child. Their future. Our world

PERSONAL READINESS: • Make an action plan for your future goals. • Use Bridges to plan the courses that match your goals. • Work hard and develop habits to succeed now and in the future. • Develop daily routines for homework and stay organized. • Get involved in UIL and other extra-curricular activities to build social and leadership skills. • Find supportive adults at school to help you achieve your goals. • Never give up! There is nothing more important than character and never giving up.

ACADEMIC READINESS: • Take the most challenging courses for you. • Challenge yourself with Pre-AP/AP in your best subjects. • Earn college credit in high school with ACC Early College Start courses. • Take advantage of intervention and tutorial opportunities. • Bridges.com is a great tool to make the most challenging four-year high school plan for you.

CAREER READINESS: • Use the career tools on Bridges like Cluster Finder and Interest Profiler to find the careers that match your passions. • Choose your major or CTE pathway of study and take the courses that will best prepare you for your future. • Take a practicum course at the end of your pathway and even earn a professional certificate. • Participate in job shadow opportunities like Real World Pflugerville. • Use middle school and high school to learn about as many careers as possible. • Surf Bridges - the information is right at your fingertips.

ADMISSION READINESS: • Get and keep your grade point average and class ranking as high as possible. • Take the PSAT seriously and use My College Quick Start to help prepare for the SAT and ACT. • See your counselor for free SAT/ACT prep opportunities. • Become very familiar with your high school’s college and career center and with the transition counselor. Help is available!

FINANCIAL READINESS: • Don’t let money keep you from pursuing your dreams. • Learn about and apply for scholarships. See your transition counselor for more information. • PISD seniors earn $10-20 million dollars in scholarships every year. This could be you. • Fill out and complete your Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) by March of your senior year. • Take advantage of our FAFSA completion events where free professional help is available.

Endorsement Guide Overview

This Endorsement Guide is designed to provide you with information about the new Texas Foundation Endorsement Graduation Plan. The purpose of the State’s change to the new graduation plan is to provide students greater flexibility and choice in the selection of courses that will best prepare them for their individual postsecondary goals. Employers and leaders in the Texas workforce have encouraged career oriented training and certification at the high school level to help meet their growing demands. Starting in the spring of 2014, all 8th graders will be required to choose one of five endorsements as outlined in the new graduation plan. The five endorsement areas are: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); Business and Industry; Public Services; Arts and Humanities; and Multidisciplinary Studies. The earned Endorsement will be reflected on the student’s official transcript at the completion of their high school career.

How are the Endorsements organized? As you use this guide, you will see recommended Pathways (or coherent sequences of courses) organized by career clusters within each of the Endorsements. A career cluster is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on commonalities. These career clusters are part of the Achieve Texas College and Career Initiative that is designed to help students (and their parents) make informed education decisions. It is based on the idea that the education of the 21st century should combine rigorous academics with relevant career education. When schools integrate academic and technical education, students can see the "relevance" of what they are learning. The Pathways allow students to study a particular field in depth and help to facilitate a seamless transition from secondary to postsecondary opportunities.

Required Parent Conference: Please join your 8th grade student and a PfISD school counselor to discuss high school course selection and your child’s individual Endorsement Graduation Plan as it relates to his/her unique interests and future career goals. This meeting benefits your child’s school success and also satisfies state law, which requires an individual meeting with each parent about the new Endorsement Graduation Plan. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the conference:

Use Endorsement Guide to help your student select an Endorsement and Pathway Log on to Bridges.com to assist your student with their four year plan and course selection, here’s the

basic log in information: Portfolio name: pisd###### (Student ID) Password: Student Birthdate (ex. 05202000)

Attend scheduled appointment with your student and PISD counselor Your involvement in the process of helping your student prepare for high school is critical. We hope this Endorsement Guide will be a valuable resource in this exciting journey!
