Naviance is an incredible tool for CDM students
and their families! It is an electronic college data management system used
by our counseling department to keep track of CDM student data including student GPAs, standardized test scores, college
choices, colleges applications information and a personality and career assessment.
CDM students are
registered and trained on the Naviance
Family Connection.
They learn how to access and use their personal site to help organize their college planning and search process. Students
can obtain general college information, access to specific college websites, and an analytical tool that allows them
to compare their GPAs and test scores to other (anonymous) CDM students' data for assistance in determining what colleges
would be a good fit for the student from a GPA and test score perspective.
The college data in Family Connection allows a student to search for the
right individual college matches. Using Family Connection, students can store a personal game plan, and develop:
- a list of possible careers and majors
- a resume
- a list of colleges a student is considering
- a list of colleges to which he/she is applying
- college application tasks
- and application results
This is private information that can only be accessed
by the student, parents or the counseling department. Students can also be contacted by e-mail about college visits,
deadlines, surveys and other pertinent college information from the counseling department.
In order
to access Family Connection, a student must have been registered during a Naviance training lesson or
by his/her guidance counselor. The student can then log onto:https://connection.naviance.com/cdmhs with his/her user name and password.
