Introducing VSAC Curriculum Map for Grades 6–12

Looking to target college and career readiness skills at your school?

The VSAC Curriculum Map provides targeted social-emotional, academic, and postsecondary planning skills that Vermont students in grades 6–12 will need to pursue education and career opportunities after high school. This framework reflects current research, best practice, and experience on the ground.

This framework may interest you if you are a:
•    counselor
•    school leader
•    teacher
•    work-based learning coordinator

It can be used to develop postsecondary planning activities for advisory or can be incorporated into class curriculum for students across the grades. 

VSAC has a growing collection of college and career planning learning activities that are directly related to the skills in the VSAC Curriculum Map.

If you' re looking to target specific skills in the curriculum map and would like curriculum that has already been developed, please reach out to Lauren Hood, Aspirations School Specialist and Curriculum Lead, at hood@vsac.org.
