How does Mater Dei use NAVIANCE?
As a freshman, students and parents will receive their login credentials for a Naviance account. Freshmen students are encouraged to take the Strengths Explore Assessment. This assessment will help a student uncover their talents and reveal their potential strengths.
As a Sophomore, students are encouraged to take the Career Cluster Finder and Career Interest Profiler. The Career Interest Profiler is an online career interest assessment for students based on Holland's interest codes.
