Renzulli Learning
Indiana Career Readiness Alignment
A Comprehensive Guide to Integrating Renzulli Learning with State Standards
Renzulli Learning helps Indiana schools prepare students for the future of work by developing critical thinking, creativity, and executive function (planning, organization, working memory, self-regulation)—the durable human skills that drive success in college, career, and life. Our personalized, project-based approach aligns with Indiana’s Graduation Pathways (credits + employability skills + postsecondary-ready competencies), Career & Technical Education via Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS), Work-Based Learning guidance, Graduates Prepared to Succeed (GPS) dashboard priorities, and the state Graduation Plan/Indiana Career Explorer tools.
