Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Standards
This document outlines the Wisconsin Standards for Career Readiness, providing a foundational framework for students to prepare for future career choices, success, and lifelong learning. It is structured around three core strands: Career-ready (covering awareness, exploration, planning, and preparation), Learning-ready (encompassing academic skills, critical thinking, innovation mindset, and technology proficiency), and Life-ready (focusing on self-awareness, interpersonal communication, global competence, and responsive leadership). The initiative aims to cultivate engaged learners who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and habits necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world and contribute to a better Wisconsin.
