Encourage Helps You Do More for Students
How Encourage Supports Your Work
Use the Encourage program to streamline college and career planning and to extend ongoing student support beyond 1:1 meetings for free.
Students receive our college and career planning app, which gives them a curated place to explore the possibilities for life after high school and gives them the guidance and steps to get there.
Take a look at the examples below to see how Encourage can support your students and your work on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.
Weekly
STUDENT COLLEGE MATCH & SCHOLARSHIP REPORTS
With an educator account, you can access individual reports for each student that has connected with you. Review the report before meeting 1-on-1 with students to make the most of your time together.
- Inform students about the scholarship deadlines from their plan.
- Reflect with students about colleges that aren’t currently on their lists but could be an ideal fit for their futures.
Monthly
COLLEGE & CAREER PLANNING LESSON PLANS
Encourage has a number of free lesson plans to help you structure the big conversations about college and career.
- Use a lesson plan to infuse college and career planning into small groups and classes.
- Start with Lesson 1 and go in order, or mix and match lessons to meet your needs.
Quarterly
VIEW AGGREGATE DATA REPORTS
Encourage helps you take a step back and understand the bigger picture.
- Discover insights from aggregate reports of your students' majors of interest and college characteristics.
- Identify additional education opportunities if there are gaps in student interest in specific programs or schools.
