Career Readiness Early Access for Counselors | Scoir

Written by Ginny Perkins | May 15, 2024 1:42:45 PM

We've expanded Scoir to include Career Readiness, allowing us to serve both college and non-college-bound students on their journeys—beginning in the 6th grade! 🚀

Let's dive in!

 

Robust Forms for Better Task Management

Recently, we launched a new way to assign student tasks, helping you track progress and keep everyone on scheduleNow, we've made assignments even easier to manage by using Forms.

Forms allow you to collect information from students as they advance through school. You can easily customize them to fit your school's specific learning plans.   

 

Build a form by adding the fields you want to include into the form editor. From there, fill in the details like titles, questions, and descriptions. If you want to customize the form even more, add elements like section headers and text blocks. 

 

Once created, assign the form as a task for students to complete. If you'd like to edit the form after you've shared it, no problem! Simply use the dropdown menu to make changes to an existing form.

 

View form responses by clicking the title of the form, and a list of students assigned along with their responses will populate.  

As you explore Tasks & Forms and we continue building the experience, please share your feedback!

 

College Catalog Expansion, Including Trade & Tech Discovery

When exploring colleges, a new filter expands your search beyond traditional 4-year and 2-year colleges! Our college catalog now includes trade & technical schools, and you'll see a Career & Trade filtering option for those pursuing pathways that offer specialized training and certifications.
