Academic and career planning is a process for all students to reflect on their interests, values, and future goals to formulate an evolving plan in support of their future goals and success as contributing citizens. This plan is revisited with each student every year. Additional information and resources on College and Career Readiness is available via the College and Career Readiness website.
Academic Career Plan Portfolio - ACPP
Career Awareness and Exploration (Grades K-5)
The Academic Career Plan Portfolio (ACPP) begins in elementary school. Students explore different occupations associated with career clusters based on selected areas aligning with personal interests and values, such as dependability and respect, and skills supporting decision making about future goals and interests. Elementary students learn how to set goals and better understand their own interests and values. They complete career artifacts each year while exploring future career opportunities.
Academic Career Plan - ACP
Career Development and Planning (Grades 6-8)
Career Focus and Experiences (Grades 9-12)
Middle and high school students each have a personal learning plan and course of study that aligns with the student's academic and career goals. Students utilize Naviance, a personalized platform that includes individual self-discovery assessments, personal vision questions, goal setting, career and college planning, financial literacy, and academic course planning. The Academic Career Plan (ACP) begins in sixth grade and includes college, career, and life readiness curriculum taught each year by school counselors and educators through Naviance. Students continue the creation of their personal learning plan and course of study that aligns with their evolving academic and career goals which are reviewed annually. Students access Naviance through the single sign-on, Clever, and their Office 365 credentials. Learn more at PWCS Naviance.
Student Vision Profile
In alignment with the ACP, PWCS provides students in grades 6-12 with the Student Vision Profile. The Student Vision Profile is a document that contains valuable information about planning for life after high school and making the most of their PWCS experience.
