Having a Career Goal and Plan makes a HUGE difference in PS success!
Preliminary findings showed desired learning outcomes were the best predictors of student success.
Students whose desire was to “Explore courses to decide career,” had the lowest graduation rate, 21%.
This compares to a graduation rate for students who intend to, “Prepare to change careers,” of 78%.
Clearly, having a career goal and plan that a student is acting upon makes a big difference

Utilizing: CTE, core curriculums, existing & available resources (CDE, CDHE & CCCS), career & academic planning tools & assessments and “the village”.
1.00 Statement of Basis and Purpose
• Pursuant to SB 09-256, the State Board of Education is required to promulgate rules to establish standards for Individual Career and Academic Plans (“ICAP”) for students enrolled in public schools in the state. The intent of this provision in the legislation is to ultimately decrease dropout rates and increase graduation rates by assisting students in developing and maintaining a personalized postsecondary plan that ensures readiness for postsecondary and workforce success.
• An ICAP shall be designed to assist a student and his or her parent or legal guardian in exploring the postsecondary career and educational opportunities available to the student, aligning course work and curriculum, applying to postsecondary education institutions, securing financial aid and ultimately entering the workforce.
• 9 Elements:
Paradigm Shift…So much Vocabulary!
• Post Secondary Plan• MyCAP (My Career and Academic Plan)• ICAP (Individual Career and Academic Plan)• Personal Education Plan• Transition Plan• Five year (six year, seven year) Plan• Cluster, Pathway, Plan of Study (POS), PWR, IEP, CiC• And more…
Real ConnectionPOS Vision: Provide a road map for the student/parent that connects Career Path courses with Core Academic courses
POS Mission: Allow flexibility for students to explore and update their plans of study simultaneouslyguiding and preparing today’s students for high wage, high skill and high demand careers!
Who are your partners?• In your organization/institution?
• In your district?
• In your community?
• In your region?
• In your state?“…Like businesses, schools create value that people need…If we don’t take the leadership to shape the system we need, we
would end up like an island caught in a raging current…schools, families, communities – together they secure a brighter future for us all.” ~ Gary Marx, Horace Mann League (ASCD)
