An education plan is used to bridge assessment results with pathways and CTE courses to meet state requirements.

Updated over a week ago

What is an Education Plan?

The Kuder Navigator Ed Plan tool can digitally create a student's four-year plan for high school courses. Many states require students to complete a form of an individual graduation plan (IDP) and this tool makes it easy for students to complete.

How do the courses get into Kuder Navigator?

In most cases, courses are imported into the Navigator system using the Course Manager feature on the Kuder Navigator for Admins platform. If you are needing to update course data, you can find instructions on the following article: Educators: How to Use Course Manager for Ed Plans.
