The Future Starts Here.
Let's Go!
Your child’s future is what’s most important to you—dreaming big for your kids. Their futures are most important to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, too. That’s why we’re taking a big step toward the biggest, brightest futures for all our students with CMSGO, powered by the Beable platform.
There are so many opportunities in today’s technologically savvy world. Our kids need to know all about them—especially the jobs best suited to their interests, which are the best predictor of job satisfaction and success. Along with exposure to what’s possible, they also need a personalized path to their ‘future possible selves’: the reading skills they need for the jobs they develop an interest in, as well as other essential skills.
CMSGO is an entirely new, innovative, exciting program that extends beyond the school day to connect kids to their future possible selves. So, explore CMSGO here, bookmark the site, and come back often for updates and progress reports.
About Beable
Beable is the first multidimensional platform that takes a 360-degree view of every child—their strengths and values, personal and career interests, academic gaps and goals, dreams and aspirations.
These all become part of your child’s ‘GoProfile’, which tailors all the content in CMSGO for your child: the jobs they’ll explore, the number of lessons needed to reach the literacy level required for those jobs… everything needed to close gaps and reach goals.
- A world-of-work curriculum takes students on a journey of self- and career awareness, while also focusing on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
- Lessons are “differentiated” by each student’s reading level, so all kids can access and benefit from the content.
- Additional, high-interest readings are provided on topics your child selects.
- Career exploration is personalized based on your child’s interests and career-related traits.

‘20/20’ Is How Your Child
Goes Farther, Faster, with CMSGO!
The more students use CMSGO, the more lessons they complete, the faster they become excellent readers. And the surer their path to academic success and gainful employment. Here’s all it takes to accelerate with CMSGO: Remind your child to complete at least two 20-minute sessions each week after school hours or on the weekend. Then reading success…academic success…and future readiness are the outcomes!
Connecting Students to Their “Why”
When kids come to know their strengths, hopes and dreams, interests and goals, they set the best course for their future. CMSGO helps your kids discover their “why”—to learn more about themselves and take charge of their future. As they do, they explore the amazing jobs—from programmer to architect, auto mechanic to engineer, nurse to technician—that are best for them. Through their exploration, your children will also build the reading and other skills that will help them succeed at those jobs.

RIASEC and Lexile®
Two Terms You’ll Start Using All the Time
What’s RIASEC?
It’s one of the most widespread, acclaimed inventories to help people discover the careers that are most likely to satisfy them. Through CMSGO, your kids will learn their three-letter RIASEC code—whether they are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional—and then explore and learn about their best-fit jobs.
Learn more about RIASEC by taking the quick survey.
And what’s Lexile?
It’s the measure of your child’s reading level—and the most-used literacy measure in the world. The higher a Lexile level, the stronger one’s reading ability. Every job requires a particular reading level. Just as CMSGO helps your child zero in on careers of interest, it also helps develop the reading skills required by those careers. This is especially important now, as many kids are still catching up on their reading skills due to the learning loss caused by the pandemic.
