Overview

Spotlight Education's College and Career Readiness Guide was described as a personalized reporting service that combined SIS data, assessment results, and career-interest information into student-facing college and career guidance. Reports summarized graduation and A–G progress, possible college matches, career and wage information, nearby education programs, and recommended next steps.

The product was designed to make complex planning data easier for students and families to understand through visual, multilingual reports delivered by PDF, email, text, or a portal, with summary information for counselors. A current public product site could not be verified in this review, so this description preserves the catalog's historical product record rather than confirming present availability or support.

Spotlight's College and Career Readiness Guide ("CCRG") is a personalized source of information that converts student data into a series of infographics laying out a student's post-graduation trajectory, as well as the specific steps they can take to reach for a higher level of postsecondary aspiration.  The CCRG draws data from any student information system, as well as assessment results (PSAT/SAT, ACT, or even CAASPP) and any career interest survey. Spotlight's proprietary software then converts this data into personalized reports -- one for every year, as well as a home-language copy for parents. Spotlight has thus far produced parent versions in English, Spanish, Hmong, Khmer, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, and Arabic. CCRG reports may be delivered as printed PDFs, but also can be securely emailed, texted (PDF links) or placed in a student or parent portal.
