“Wisconsin State Statute 115.28(59) requires that school districts be provided a computer software [program], to be used statewide by school districts, to provide academic and career planning (ACP) services to pupils in grades 6-12…” Students use the Xello software for this requirement. (dpi.wi.gov, 2021).
Here’s how it works...
With Xello, 6th-8th grade students will:
Build Self-knowledge (KNOW): Define interests, skills, preferences, and aspirations and explore the opportunities right for them.
Explore Options (EXPLORE): Learn about career possibilities and educational pathways by exploring rich, engaging content and lessons.
Create a Plan (PLAN): Create dynamic actionable plans that outline the steps needed to achieve school, career, and life goals.
Learn and Reassess (GO): Explore interactive lessons to help develop age-appropriate skills and knowledge for success in school and beyond.
