Success Planning
Success Planning Overview
The Success Planning tools in Naviance allow students to set goals and school staff members to create tangible, action-oriented, and personalized plans that focus students on the future. Students can contribute to this plan by creating to-dos and marking items as completed.
Success Planning includes four key features.
| Success Planning Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Tasks | Tasks are action items that schools and districts can assign to students and staff. You can:
|
| Programs | Programs are collections of tasks you create and assign to specific groups, such as grade 9 students, at-risk students, or student-athletes. When you assign programs to students, Naviance assigns the collection of tasks to students. |
| Goals | Students create and manage goals for themselves. However, before students can create goals, you must create goal categories and assign them by grade level in Naviance. By default, Naviance provides one goal category, Other, which you cannot delete. |
| To-Dos | Students create and manage to-do list items to help them stay on track with their post-secondary plans. To-dos are managed solely by students in Naviance Student. You cannot track students' to-dos in Naviance. |
