Nevada Career Readiness Alignment
A Comprehensive Guide to Integrating Renzulli Learning with State Standards
Renzulli Learning helps Nevada schools prepare students for the future of work by developing critical thinking, creativity, and executive function (planning, organization, working memory, self-regulation)—the durable skills that drive success in college, career, and life. Our personalized, project-based approach aligns with Nevada’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) system, Work-Based Learning (WBL) continuum, Employability Skills for Career Readiness standards, required 4-year academic/individual graduation plans, and the College and Career Ready (CCR) Diploma graduation options.
