A Clear 9–12 College & Career Readiness Plan
Built for Real Secondary Classrooms
If you teach — or lead — College & Career Readiness in ELA, EL, SPED, CTE, Advisory, or a dedicated CCR course,
you’re expected to prepare students for life after high school.
Often without a clear progression.
Often with materials that are hard to follow.
Often with lessons that don’t truly engage students.
CCR shouldn’t feel confusing or pieced together.
You need:
A simple, easy-to-read 9–12 scope and sequence
Intentional skill-building across grades
Engaging, ready-to-teach lessons that fit real class periods.
That’s the system. You don’t need another initiative.
You need clarity — and resources that actually work.

If your college and career readiness lessons feel disconnected…
or squeezed into weeks that are already full…
It’s not your fault.
Most teachers are given this responsibility without a clear 9–12 progression
or the materials to support it.
I know — because I’ve been there.
With 30+ years in secondary education,
I’ve designed my own EL, ELA, Advisory, and AVID classes
so they include College and Career Readiness lessons
without overwhelming the curriculum.
What makes the difference?
A clear progression. Engaging lessons. Structure and resources — together.
