Resources for New York City Public Schools Educators

Xello’s Future Readiness model supports New York City Public Schools’ vision to ensure every student graduates with a strong postsecondary plan and a head start for where they are going. As a digital advising tool, Xello empowers students to take ownership of their futures by placing them at the center of their planning experience—building self-knowledge, exploring career and postsecondary options, creating actionable plans, and revisiting their goals as they gain new skills and experiences.

Training

For FutureReadyNYC schools using Xello to deliver career-connected learning, upcoming trainings and pre-recorded resources will show how Xello supports your Key Implementation Metrics (KIMs). Aligned with the NYC Career Navigation Roadmap, Xello strengthens the Examine and Experience milestones that help students build strong postsecondary plans. These sessions will also demonstrate how to embed Xello into ongoing, personalized advising so students can explore options, create plans, and move forward with confidence.
