Indiana’s vision for every graduate

The New Indiana Diploma, Readiness Seals, Graduation Pathways & Why Durable Skills Are the Center

Indiana’s career readiness framework is anchored by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), the Indiana State Board of Education (SBOE), the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE), and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). In December 2024 the SBOE adopted a new Indiana Diploma requiring 42 credits (8 English, 7 Math, 7 Science, 5 Social Studies, 2 Health/PE, 1 Preparing for College and Careers, and 12 Personalized Electives) for the Class of 2029 and beyond, with optional opt-in beginning the 2025-26 school year. This replaces the Core 40 / Academic Honors / Technical Honors structure with a single base diploma plus optional Readiness Seals.

Students may earn one or more Readiness Seals — Enrollment, Employment, or Enlistment — each with Honors (75 hours of work-based learning) and Honors Plus (150 hours of work-based learning) tiers. The Enrollment Honors Plus Seal guarantees automatic admission upon application to seven Indiana public institutions: Purdue University, Indiana University, Ball State University, the University of Southern Indiana, Vincennes University, Indiana State University, and Ivy Tech Community College. Earning at least one Readiness Seal automatically satisfies a student’s Graduation Pathways requirements. Current cohorts (Class of 2023 through 2028) must still complete all three components of the Indiana Graduation Pathways: (1) the statutorily defined diploma; (2) Employability Skills demonstrated via Project-Based Learning, Service-Based Learning, or Work-Based Learning, validated locally against the DWD Employability Skills Benchmarks; and (3) a Postsecondary-Ready Competency. The challenge for Indiana counselors: durable skills are easy to name across the new Diploma, the Readiness Seals, and Graduation Pathways but hard to measure and develop systematically across grades 6–12.

Renzulli Learning is the K-12 platform that both assesses and develops the durable skills Indiana’s new Indiana Diploma, three Readiness Seals, Indiana Graduation Pathways, Indiana GPS profile, 16 Career Clusters in Next Level Programs of Study, 8 Indiana CTSOs, and Work-Based Learning Levels 1 and 2 demand. The Cebeci Test of Creativity (CTC) measures creativity (US Patent 12,087,176) — the durable skill behind innovation across all 16 Career Clusters. The Executive Function Assessment measures the durable skills behind 42-credit completion, the 7 Math and 7 Science requirements, and academic readiness for non-remedial coursework. The Leadership Assessment measures Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic — the three skill domains explicitly named in the Employment Seal rubric — and supports Indiana CTSO participation. The Profiler captures interests, learning styles, and expression styles in 20+ languages — informing Readiness Seal selection, NLPS pathway choice, and the 12 Personalized Electives. SEM Type III Project-Based Learning produces capstone artifacts complementing the Employability Skills component of Graduation Pathways. The Personal Success Plan (PSP) generates exportable summaries documenting Seal progress hour-by-hour and credential-by-credential across grades 6–12. The result: Indiana districts get measurable durable-skills evidence — turning the new Indiana Diploma, Readiness Seals, and Graduation Pathways into year-round documented practice.

Real challenges

What Indiana Counselors & CTE Coordinators Struggle With

These are the durable-skills-and-career-readiness challenges we consistently hear from Indiana educators implementing the new Indiana Diploma, Readiness Seals, Graduation Pathways, and Next Level Programs of Study:

Sustaining the durable-skills story across the diploma transition (Class of 2026 opt-in through Class of 2029)

Indiana districts are simultaneously running Graduation Pathways for the Class of 2026, 2027, and 2028 while opt-in cohorts adopt the new 42-credit Indiana Diploma with Readiness Seals. Counselors need durable-skills measurement and development tools that produce evidence usable under both regimes.

Operationalizing the Readiness Seal hour minimums (75 / 150)

Employment Honors requires 75 hours of work-based learning; Employment Honors Plus requires 150 hours plus skill demonstrations in Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic plus an attendance goal. Districts need year-round data on student persistence, executive function, and leadership to plan WBL placements, monitor hour accumulation, and document the three named skill domains.

Connecting students to Indiana CTE - 16 Career Clusters and 60+ Next Level Programs of Study

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education administers more than 60 Next Level Programs of Study aligned to Ivy Tech and Vincennes within the 16 National Career Clusters. Counselors need year-round data on student strengths and interests to guide informed Cluster selection and CTSO participation across BPA, DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, and TSA.

Measuring all five Indiana GPS domains

The Indiana GPS profile defines a graduate by academic mastery; career and postsecondary readiness; communication and collaboration; work ethic; and civic, financial, and digital literacy. Districts need durable-skills tools that produce evidence in every GPS domain — not just academics.

Validating Employability Skills against the DWD Benchmarks

Component 2 of the Graduation Pathways requires every student to demonstrate Employability Skills via Project-Based Learning, Service-Based Learning, or Work-Based Learning, validated locally against the DWD Employability Skills Benchmarks. A student cannot mix the three options; the experience must be sustained over time. Districts need durable-skills tools that produce auditable evidence.

Honoring Indiana’s Indigenous heritage in K-12 instruction

Indiana is the ancestral homeland of the Miami (Myaamia), Potawatomi, Delaware (Lenape), Shawnee, Kickapoo, Wea, Piankashaw, and Eel River peoples. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is the only federally recognized tribe with trust land in Indiana (166 acres in South Bend, into trust 2016). The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma maintains trust land and a Cultural Resource Extension Office in Fort Wayne. Districts need culture-respectful tools to support diverse learners.

Platform tools

Renzulli Learning Tools Mapped to Indiana’s Durable Skills Demands

Each Renzulli tool maps to specific Indiana Diploma requirements, Readiness Seal tiers, Graduation Pathways components, Indiana GPS domains, and Next Level Programs of Study — producing concrete, exportable evidence of durable skills growth:

Renzulli Profiler: A 20-30 minute student self-assessment for grades Pre-K through 12. Captures each student’s interests, learning styles, and expression styles — the strength-based foundation that powers Readiness Seal selection, the 12 Personalized Electives, and NLPS pathway choice. Surfaces interests across all 16 National Career Clusters in Indiana’s Next Level Programs of Study. Available in 20+ languages, supporting Indiana’s English Language Learners and diverse student populations.
Cebeci Test of Creativity (CTC): A validated, standardized creativity assessment (US Patent 12,087,176) measuring fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Culture-independent design supports more equitable durable-skills identification across linguistic and cultural backgrounds — particularly relevant for Indiana districts honoring the state’s rich Miami (Myaamia), Potawatomi, Delaware, Shawnee, Kickapoo, Wea, and Piankashaw historical heritage.
Executive Function Assessment (EFA): Measures planning, working memory, self-regulation, and metacognition — the durable skills behind academic preparation for the new Indiana Diploma’s 7 Math and 7 Science requirements. EFA dashboards highlight where students need scaffolding to complete the 42-credit base, demonstrate Postsecondary-Ready Competency, and succeed in AP, IB, Dual Credit, and Cambridge International pathways recognized by the Graduation Pathways.
Leadership Assessment: Measures the durable skills behind the DWD Employability Skills Benchmarks and Indiana CTSO participation: BPA, DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, and TSA. Particularly important for the Employment Seal, which explicitly requires demonstrated skills in Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic — the three named domains the Leadership Assessment measures directly.
Personal Success Plan (PSP): A student-driven goal, project, and reflection tracker that builds a portable durable-skills portfolio. Generates exportable summaries that students and counselors use across Readiness Seal progression, NLPS pathway tracking, and WBL hour accumulation from grades 6-12 — including documentation for the 75-hour and 150-hour WBL milestones, Indiana College Core completion, and Postsecondary-Ready Competency artifacts.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) Tools: Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) Type III investigations produce authentic projects, presentations, portfolios, and reflections — exactly the artifacts Indiana’s Graduation Pathways component 2 (Employability Skills via PBL, SBL, or WBL) and NLPS capstones expect. PBL simultaneously develops critical thinking, communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity.
Renzulli Enrichment Database: Over 40,000 curated, standards-aligned activities matched to each student’s Profiler results — including resources supporting all eight content areas of the new Indiana Diploma (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Health/PE, Preparing for College and Careers, and the 12 Personalized Electives), career-exploration activities for all 16 National Career Clusters, and resources spanning all five Indiana GPS domains.
21st-Century & Durable Skills Framework: Structured activities and rubrics build all seven canonical durable skills — producing growth evidence districts can use for Readiness Seal documentation, Graduation Pathways Employability Skills validation, Indiana GPS reporting, NLPS implementation, and Perkins V CTE accountability.

From Indiana educators

What Implementation Looks Like in Indiana Districts

“The new Indiana Diploma transition is real for us — we’re running Graduation Pathways for the Class of 2026, 2027, and 2028 while opt-in cohorts adopt the 42-credit base diploma with Readiness Seals. The Employment Seal’s explicit naming of Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic as the three skill domains for Honors Plus is what really focused our durable-skills strategy. With Renzulli’s Profiler in 20+ languages informing Readiness Seal and NLPS selection, the EFA showing us which students need scaffolding for the 7 Math and 7 Science requirements, the Leadership Assessment measuring those exact three Employment Seal skill domains, and SEM Type III PBL producing the validated artifacts for the Employability Skills component of Graduation Pathways, our Indiana GPS conversations have finally become evidence-driven across all five domains.”
Counseling and Career Readiness Coordinator · Indiana school district

For South Bend, Bloomington, Lafayette, Terre Haute, Gary & Indiana’s 92 counties Indiana is the ancestral homeland of the Miami (Myaamia), Potawatomi, Delaware (Lenape), Shawnee, Kickapoo, Wea, Piankashaw, and Eel River peoples. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is the only federally recognized tribe with trust land in Indiana — 166 acres in South Bend, taken into trust by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2016. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma maintains trust land and a Cultural Resource Extension Office in Fort Wayne, and operates the Myaamia Center at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The Potawatomi Trail of Death of 1838 forcibly removed 859 Potawatomi from northern Indiana to Kansas. The Profiler’s availability in 20+ languages, the culture-independent CTC, the 40,000+ Enrichment Database, and the PSP’s goal-tracking workflow let counselors support strength-based learning K-12 across rural and urban districts.
Frequently asked questions

Indiana Durable Skills & Career Readiness: Common Questions

Questions Indiana counselors and CTE coordinators ask most often:

How does Renzulli Learning align with the new Indiana Diploma (Class of 2029 and beyond)?
In December 2024 the Indiana State Board of Education adopted a new Indiana Diploma replacing the Core 40 / Academic Honors / Technical Honors structure. Students earn a 42-credit base diploma: 8 English, 7 Math, 7 Science, 5 Social Studies, 2 Health/PE (one of each), 1 Preparing for College and Careers, and 12 Personalized Electives. Schools may opt in beginning the 2025-2026 school year; the new diploma is fully effective for the Class of 2029. Students may then choose to earn one or more Readiness Seals (Enrollment, Employment, or Enlistment) with Honors and Honors Plus tiers. Renzulli’s EFA develops the persistence behind the 7 Math and 7 Science requirements; the Profiler in 20+ languages surfaces interests informing the 12 Personalized Electives; SEM Type III Project-Based Learning produces portfolio artifacts for Preparing for College and Careers; and the 40,000+ Enrichment Database includes resources aligned to all eight required content areas.
How does Renzulli Learning support Indiana’s three Readiness Seals (Enrollment, Employment, Enlistment)?
Each Readiness Seal has Honors and Honors Plus tiers. Enrollment Honors Plus requires 4 World Language credits, 6 Social Studies credits, Algebra II + Pre-Calculus, Biology + Chemistry + Physics, a C or higher in all courses with a B cumulative average, and 75 hours of work-based learning — and guarantees automatic admission (upon application) to Purdue University, Indiana University, Ball State University, the University of Southern Indiana, Vincennes University, Indiana State University, and Ivy Tech Community College. Employment Honors requires 75 hours of WBL with skill demonstrations in Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic; Employment Honors Plus requires 150 hours of WBL plus the same skill demonstrations and an attendance goal. Earning at least one Readiness Seal automatically satisfies the Graduation Pathways requirement. Renzulli’s Leadership Assessment measures Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic — the three skill domains explicitly named in the Employment Seal rubric. The EFA develops persistence behind academic-rigor courses for the Enrollment Seal and the WBL hour minimums for Employment and Enlistment. SEM Type III PBL produces the WBL artifacts. The PSP documents Seal progress hour-by-hour and credential-by-credential.
How does Renzulli Learning support Indiana’s Graduation Pathways (Class of 2023 through 2028)?
Indiana students in the Class of 2023 through Class of 2028 must complete all three components of the Graduation Pathways: (1) earn a high school diploma per state-statutory credit and curricular requirements; (2) learn and demonstrate Employability Skills via Project-Based Learning, Service-Based Learning, or Work-Based Learning experiences validated locally against the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s Employability Skills Benchmarks (a student cannot mix the three options — the experience must be sustained over time); and (3) demonstrate a Postsecondary-Ready Competency through ACT/SAT benchmark, AP/IB/Dual Credit/Cambridge International coursework, ASVAB 31+, federally-recognized apprenticeship, CTE concentrator status, the Indiana College Core, a Locally Created Pathway, or a state- and industry-recognized credential. Renzulli’s SEM Type III Project-Based Learning produces validated artifacts that meet the Employability Skills Benchmarks for component 2. The Leadership Assessment measures the durable skills behind the DWD Benchmarks. The EFA develops the persistence behind ACT/SAT readiness and AP/IB/Dual Credit success for component 3. The Profiler surfaces interests informing CTE concentrator pathway and apprenticeship selection. The PSP documents all three components year by year.
How does Renzulli Learning support the Indiana GPS profile of Graduates Prepared to Succeed?
The Indiana GPS (Graduates Prepared to Succeed) profile defines an Indiana high school graduate by five domains: (1) academic mastery; (2) career and postsecondary readiness, measured through credentials and experiences; (3) communication and collaboration; (4) work ethic; and (5) civic, financial, and digital literacy. Renzulli Learning develops measurable evidence in every GPS domain. The EFA supports academic mastery. The Profiler and PSP surface and document career and postsecondary readiness across all 16 Career Clusters. The Leadership Assessment measures communication, collaboration, and work ethic — three of the five GPS domains directly. The 40,000+ Enrichment Database includes resources for civic, financial, and digital literacy. SEM Type III PBL produces capstone artifacts spanning all five GPS domains.
What durable skills does Renzulli Learning develop, and how does that connect to Indiana’s career readiness framework?
Renzulli Learning develops seven canonical durable skills: critical thinking, creativity, executive function, leadership, collaboration, communication, and self-direction. These map directly to the new Indiana Diploma (42 credits, Class of 2029+), the three Readiness Seals (Enrollment, Employment, Enlistment) with Honors and Honors Plus tiers, the Indiana Graduation Pathways, the Indiana GPS profile, the 16 National Career Clusters in Indiana’s Next Level Programs of Study, the 8 Indiana CTSOs (BPA, DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, TSA), and Work-Based Learning Levels 1 and 2. Renzulli is uniquely positioned because it both measures these durable skills (CTC, EFA, Leadership Assessment, Profiler) and develops them (SEM Type III PBL, PSP, the 40,000+ Enrichment Database, 21st-century skills activities) within a single integrated platform.
How does Renzulli Learning support Indiana CTE — the 16 Career Clusters, Next Level Programs of Study, and 8 CTSOs?
Indiana’s career and technical education team is housed at the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE), which administers the Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS) — more than 60 programs of study aligned to Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University, organized within the 16 National Career Clusters. Indiana recognizes 8 CTSOs: Business Professionals of America (BPA), DECA, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), National FFA Organization (FFA), HOSA-Future Health Professionals, SkillsUSA, and Technology Student Association (TSA). The Renzulli Profiler in 20+ languages surfaces interests across all 16 Career Clusters and guides NLPS selection. The PSP guides Cluster exploration and produces exportable Cluster-aligned portfolios. SEM Type III PBL produces NLPS capstone artifacts. The Leadership Assessment supports BPA, DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, and TSA leadership preparation — evidence districts can attach to Perkins V CTE concentrator reporting.
How does Renzulli Learning support Indiana’s Work-Based Learning Levels 1 and 2?
Indiana’s Work-Based Learning structure has two levels. WBL Level 1 (course code 0543, Employability Skills Development) covers early WBL exposure including part-time jobs and CTSO leadership. WBL Level 2 requires 75 or more hours of work-based learning with a written training plan between school and employer, and meets the Employment Honors Seal hours minimum. The Employment Honors Plus tier requires 150 or more hours of WBL with documented skill development in Communication, Collaboration, and Work Ethic plus an attendance goal. Federally-recognized apprenticeships also qualify under the Postsecondary-Ready Competency. Renzulli’s EFA develops persistence to complete the 75-hour and 150-hour minimums. The Leadership Assessment measures the durable skills behind the DWD Employability Skills Benchmarks at the close of Level 2. SEM Type III PBL produces documented WBL artifacts at every level. The PSP documents WBL progression hour-by-hour from Level 1 entry through Honors Plus completion and Registered Apprenticeship readiness.
How much does Renzulli Learning cost for Indiana districts?
Renzulli Learning starts at $15 per student per year with full platform access — all four assessments (Profiler, Cebeci Test of Creativity, Executive Function Assessment, Leadership Assessment), 40,000+ enrichment activities, PBL tools, PSP, and ELLA included. Indiana districts can use Title I, II, III, IV, and Perkins V funds where allowable. Custom district alignments are available. Free 30-day trial with no credit card required. View pricing ›
How does Renzulli Learning support equity for Indiana’s diverse learners and the state’s Indigenous heritage?
Indiana is home to a diverse student population. The state is the ancestral homeland of the Miami (Myaamia), Potawatomi, Delaware (Lenape), Shawnee, Kickapoo, Wea, Piankashaw, and Eel River peoples. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is the only federally recognized tribe with trust land in Indiana — 166 acres in South Bend, taken into trust by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2016. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma maintains trust land and a Cultural Resource Extension Office in Fort Wayne, and operates the Myaamia Center at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, which serves as a center for Myaamia language, culture, and research. The Potawatomi Trail of Death of 1838 forcibly removed 859 Potawatomi from northern Indiana to Kansas. The Renzulli Profiler is available in 20+ languages, supporting Indiana’s diverse student populations. The Cebeci Test of Creativity is culture-independent (US Patent 12,087,176). Renzulli complements — not replaces — Indiana districts’ work to teach the rich Indigenous history of the state and to support partnerships with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, and other federally-recognized tribes whose ancestors lived on Indiana lands.
