  2. Student Centered Career Readiness Being career ready means, in part, that a high school graduate has a viable postsecondary plan with, at least initial occupational goals, and understands the steps necessary to achieve them.

  3. Engaged Imaginations Einstein said: “imagination is more important than information or knowledge,” Information is essential, but insufficient.

  4. Thoughtful Decisions Most people are “resigned to spending their entire adult lives working at jobs chosen by their unthinking sixteen-year-old selves” The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work Alain de Botton
