A Dashboard That Keeps Career Development Plans on Track

Talk to enough counselors and one frustration keeps surfacing: tracking students’ future-ready plans, such as the Career Development Plan, across hundreds or thousands of students becomes a job of its own. Level All built a tool to fix that by giving you one place to assign, track, and nudge every student toward the finish line.

‍

There’s a Better Way

Level All tracks every student’s Career Development Plan automatically and in real time, tied directly to the promotion gates districts are responsible for enforcing.

Automatic, real-time tracking. No manual updates. The platform keeps every student’s CDP status current on its own, from creation through revision.
A live dashboard. You see exactly where each student stands: plan created, plan revised, or not yet started.
Built-in nudges. Prompt students (and, where appropriate, their families) to complete the next step before a promotion deadline arrives.
Built-in filtering. Filter by grade, school, or CDC caseload to pull a report before a meeting or spot a gap before it becomes a promotion problem.
Progress that stays put. Because tracking lives in the platform, a student’s plan carries forward from 7th-grade creation through 10th-grade revision without anything getting lost in a transfer or a staffing change.

‍

A missed Career Development Plan isn’t just an incomplete form. In North Carolina, it’s a promotion gate: students can’t move from 8th grade without a plan on file, and can’t move from 10th grade without a revised one.

‍

What It Looks Like in Practice

Here’s a typical week for a counselor or CDC using the dashboard.

A quick check-in. They open the dashboard and see, at a glance, that their school’s 7th-grade CDP completion sits at 81%, with promotion decisions a few months out.
Instant follow-up. They pull up a list of exactly which students haven’t created or revised their plan yet, flag those students for a check-in, and move on with their day. No spreadsheet. No chasing down promotion lists by hand.

‍

Coach Tip:

Build this check into a monthly rhythm well before the end of 7th and 10th grade, rather than a scramble in the final weeks before promotion decisions are made. Catching a gap in October is a very different conversation than catching it in May.

‍

And It’s Free

Level All is free for every North Carolina student and district.

No budget conversation. There’s no approval process to wait for before getting started.
Everything included. The dashboard, the tracking, and the underlying CDP tool are all available from day one.
Worth a conversation. If your district is still running CDP compliance out of a spreadsheet, or out of 450 CDCs each keeping their own, it’s worth talking through what this could replace.
