You’ve been uncovering student aptitudes for years—now it’s time to put those discoveries into high gear. This session is designed specifically for Utah’s educators who are ready to evolve from "aptitude testing" to "active planning." We will dive deep into the new Brightpath game-changers: the CCR Planner for personalized 4-year course mapping, Family Connect for bringing parents into the loop, and the Work-Based Learning (WBL) module for managing local employer connections. Join us as we explore how these tools create a seamless journey from the first "Brain Game" to industry-recognized CTE certifications and high-fit career placement. It’s time to strengthen your legacy and give your students a competitive edge!
