http://youtu.be/FQuR5dMHpPs

How did you figure it out?

How did you learn what you needed to do to graduate?

How did you learn what you needed to do to apply to college?

How did you learn what you needed to do to pay for college?

Would it have helped to have a class on all this?

Today’s agenda

Overview of PEP (Personal Education Plan)Break-Out Sessions – group ALunchBreak-Out Sessions – group BBreak-Out Sessions – group CWrap-up and Closing

So much vocabulary…

• Personal Education Plan (PEP)• Post Secondary Plan• MyCAP (My Career and Academic Plan)• ICAP (Individual Career and Academic

Plan)• Transition Plan• Five year (six year) Plan• And more…

What is it really?

The Personal Education Plan is a process that students participate in, which results in an actual plan.

Process:grade level required and recommended

activities

Plan:1. student’s career cluster

or pathway goal2. student’s goal of which

type of post secondary institution

3. student’s four-year high school plan, including courses

Because we know it is best for students to make plans for their futures, even if those plans change.

Because the DPS Counseling Standards

include academic and

career planning for all students.

Because the ASCA National

Model has Individual

Student Planning as one of the

four components of the delivery

system.

Because a Personal Education Plan is part

of DPS’ graduation requirements.

Because the DPS School Board has Post Secondary Readiness

goals that we are charged to fulfill.

Because the 2009 state of Colorado’s School

Finance Act requires that sixth grade students

open a College In Colorado account in order

to being the ICAP process.

Because Colorado’s legislature passed laws

requiring ICAPs for secondary students. Colorado

Department of Education’s rules for the ICAP law require students in 9th through 12th grade to explore careers, post secondary education, and high school success.

Why does this matter?

Because Colorado’s legislature passed the ASCENT legislation

reforming how high school students can participate in

concurrent enrollment programs. In order for a student to

participate in the ASCENT concurrent enrollment program, they must have an ICAP directly relating to the post-secondary

course.

Why does this matter?
