FUTURE-READY SKILLS FOR ILLINOIS STUDENTS

Wayfinder supports future-ready skill-building with content on creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration for wellness in school, career, and life. 

Illinois' Health Education Content Standards, which encompass learning in K-8 and high school, align with the National Health Education Standards (NHES) to ensure that students receive a relevant health education that supports them to successfully maintain a healthy lifestyle during school and beyond. Topic-based Collections, made up of Core lessons and related activities, enable additional in-depth development of specific NHES sub-skills.


Wayfinder is also aligned to CASEL, CCTE, P21, and ASCA frameworks, plus math and ELA CCSS. We offer consults + flexible options to align directly to your school or district’s Portrait of a Graduate.
