We will continue to offer and support both the Career Cruising for K-12 and Xello programs for the next few years. We know that schools and boards don’t make changes lightly or at the drop of a hat, so we’ll make sure you have plenty of time to explore your options and develop plans that best meet the needs of you and your students. We will help you with this planning.

Xello pricing reflects both the investment the company is making to develop industry-leading software and market value. Your dedicated Success Manager will meet with you to review all details of your new subscription and support you every step of the way.

We are happy to work with your district to create a tailor made plan to suit your needs to transition your schools at any time. We support you with dedicated account management, training, live and recorded webinars, implementation guides, and walkthroughs to ensure the process is as seamless as possible.

As part of the process to get Xello for your schools, district representatives and IT staff will need to:

• Review the data needs with their Success Manager and decide on a date for the migration
• Confirm your agreement to migrate over to the new product
• Meet with their Success Manager for a demo to understand how to get started and to confirm the next steps for your staff and students

Our team is here to ensure you have a seamless transition to Xello. You will be supported throughout the process at every level, where you’ll receive:

• a dedicated Success Manager to guide you through the transition
• a personalized migration plan
• a review of your training options
• access to Xello’s online resources

It depends on your district’s setup. It can be as little as a few days, but we want to make sure you and your staff are set up for success. That usually takes some time to ensure everyone is set up for success with a new product.

Xello provides embedded, interactive lessons as a new and more robust and effective measure of student progress. Each lesson addresses the academic and real-world skills relevant for grades 6–12 to help make students ready for a constantly changing world.

Over time, we’ve come to understand the advantages and the limitations of the Portfolio Completion Standards approach to measuring progress. The lessons in Xello address those issues through:

• Age appropriate content that introduces students to key concepts, equipping them with critical skills and knowledge
• Prompting deeper reflection by contextualizing career exploration, education choices, assessment results, etc
• Introducing new topics every year to prevent the feeling of repetition
• Integrating students’ own interests, saved options, and assessment results directly in the lesson for a genuinely personalized learning experience

Lessons can be easily woven into curriculum or assigned as independent activities. And the student dashboard directs students toward the lessons they need to complete for their grade, rather than a list of tasks within the program.

If your regional mandate includes components that are not covered by existing Xello, the custom lessons option allows you to integrate additional activities and reflection for students into their list of activities and progress reporting.
