Naviance College and Career Assessements
This week our 7th and 8th grade students used Naviance college and career readiness software during tutorial time.
- 7th Grade students took the "Learning and Productivity Assessment" to identify their preferred learning style. Ask your 7th grade student about the results! Or even better, have them login to Naviance and show you the detailed report! Students should know how to access their report. They first visit Clever, then login to Naviance, click on the Self-Discovery Tab, then Learning and Productivity.
- 8th Grade students took the Multiple Intelligences Assessment to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Ask your 8th grade student about the results! Or even better, have them login to Naviance and show you the detailed report! Students should know how to access their report. They first visit Clever, then login to Naviance, click on the Self-Discovery Tab, then Intelligences.
