To provide the Personal Education Plan (The PEP) as a tool that will help students and parents/guardians plan, with the school counselor, for high school graduation and college and/or career preparedness. It introduces career academies, encourages critical thinking about future planning, connects the students’ strengths and weaknesses and likes and dislikes to career possibilities. The PEP involves parents/guardians in the process by providing the forum in which families can express their goals for their children and helps them access resources for future planning. The PEP follows students from grades 1-12. Counselors can build upon and modify students’ responses from previous years and align students’ academic progress and programs to their career interests. Teachers will have viewing access to the PEP and may provide additional comments.
