“An investment in knowledge pays the

best interest.”- Ben Franklin

Learning Target: Students will understand the registration process in order to register classes according to their academic plan.

College, Career, and Life Ready◦ College, Career, and Life Ready is an umbrella term for

education and workforce development programs and pathway initiatives which ensure graduates have the academic, employability, and technical skills necessary to be prepared for the full range of postsecondary opportunities.

◦ Prepare for both college and career, rather than one or the other.

◦ College, Career, and Life Ready is a progression of knowledge and skills leading to credentials, certificates, and/or college-whether that is a one-year, two-year, and/or four-year degree program.

◦ In summary, students will have the knowledge and abilities needed to succeed in life, whether attending college, military, or starting a career.
