This year we have expanded our product line with a new online
planning product, Choices Planner. Along with this
addition, we have renamed our CX Online exploration product
to Choices Explorer, and we renamed our Choices
software-based planning product to Choices CD Edition.
While Choices Explorer excites young people about their
future, building awareness of all their options for education and
careers, Choices Planner is great for achieving the next
step -- creating and confirming personalized plans to realize
their potential.
Choices Planner provides personalized and dynamic
planning resources to help students structure their learning. You
get a full suite of assessments, plus the reporting tools to help
them with the decisions that last a lifetime.
Better still, because it is all online, you no longer have to
worry about waiting for the technician to install your product or
worry about where to store student planning efforts.
Students make a seamless transition from exploration to planning
with common navigational tabs and a shared portfolio that align
our Choices Explorer and Choices Planner products.
With Choices Planner, your students will experience
comprehensive planning with powerful connections. Extensive
databases and effortless navigation help students research new
connections between schools, programs and careers. Choices
Planner provides the most up-to-date, relevant and trusted
education and occupational data you will find anywhere. The data
is easy to find and easy to use. The Career Plan Builder and the
Guideways will get them started planning and help keep them on
track.
Six-Year Planner and Personalized Portfolio
Choices Planner stores students plans for the future and
reports them to you. This six-year planning portfolio provides
students with a personalized platform to start recording their
efforts and interests in middle school and track their success
through college and beyond. Integrated administrative reporting of
planning outcomes for schools, districts and regions helps save
you valuable time when reporting student success. Work is recorded
from both Choices Explorer and Choices Planner.
Career Plan Builder
Busy counselors will love the Career Plan Builder in the Your
Portfolio section. This tool prompts students through a
step-by-step process that helps them build solid career and
education plans quickly and easily. Users can create as many plans
as they desire, and confirm their plans to be sure they're making
the right choices.
Compare to Me... and Everything Else
Personalized and relevant, Choices Planner provides users
with tools to develop self-awareness about aptitudes and
preferences as they apply that knowledge to future goals. The
ability to compare programs and occupations to one another and to
personal assessment results helps users develop valuable insight
and apply it to their plans.

Adaptable to meet your requirements, Choices Planner
includes a High School Planning module that fosters connections
