Educational Development Plan:

(Completed in Career Cruising or Xello)

Along with scheduling, we will also be making sure each student has an Educational Development plan which will allow students to plan for their academic future and learn more about the career and work worlds.  Students at this age are just starting to move from very idealistic to more realistic career options, so it’s good for them to explore all of the options available to them and start to discover what they might want to do in their future lives.  

Every year students must complete their EDP plan and this is generally completed during their English classes as a part of the curriculum.  Just to give you an idea, students will go over required classes for each grade level and will explore general career information.
