Texas Career Readiness Alignment
A Comprehensive Guide to Integrating Renzulli Learning with State Standards
Renzulli Learning helps Texas 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 Texas’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways, Programs of Study, Work-Based Learning (WBL), Foundation High School Program (endorsements), and College, Career, & Military Preparation (CCMP/CCMR).
