🚩 Students: Completing OSPI's Requirements for High School and Beyond V2

Here, you will learn how students can complete the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) requirements.

Career Identification and Goal

Students must complete three (3) Self-Assessments at least once. These Self-Assessments reveal your Preferences, Interests, and Skills. Taking these assessments will gauge your interest in various careers and, upon completion, will generate results based on your personality and preferences. You may take the Self-Assessments multiple times to see how your results change throughout your high school journey. (Example: 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade)

Educational & Career Goals.

In the High School and Beyond process, you’ll set goals that help you prepare for your future career. These goals may target things you want to achieve during high school or after graduation, helping you improve your academic performance or career preparation. Goal-setting is an essential step to success, often included as a common beginning-of-year and/or term assignment. Because planning for success requires development in multiple areas of life, students can create four types of goals: 

• Educational
• Career
• Community/
• Personal

Students must enter at least one Educational and Career Goal during their high school journey.
