It is 谢尔曼ISD's goal to build Bearcats to 大学 and 职业生涯 success. SISD encourages students to actively plan for the future as early as elementary school. Our counseling staff is available to assist students and parents in exploring the world of higher education and career planning. The links to the left provide more resources for 大学 and 职业生涯 planning. 

What does it mean to be 大学 and 职业生涯 Ready?

It's a combination of concrete knowledge, skills and dispositions that students must demonstrate at mastery level to be prepared for postsecondary success. According to the American Institute for Research, half of the United States believes in the following six actionable categories to be labeled as 大学 and 职业生涯 Ready:

1. 学术知识
2. Critical thinking and/or Problem Solving 
3. Social and Emotional Learning, Collaboration, and/or Communication
4. Grit/Resilience/Perseverance
5. Citizenship and/or 社区 Involvement
6. 其他活动, such as technology, 终身学习, responsibility to the environment and family

谢尔曼ISD will have a continued focus on TEA's accountability standards and on additional factors important to the development and growth of each child.
