Process:Developmentally
appropriate recommended activities
Plan:1.Student’s career cluster or pathway goal2.Relevancy of student’s goal to post secondary institution / workforce or other future option3.Student’s intentional courses sequence & relevant experience
Utilizing: CTE, core curriculums, existing & available resources (CDE, CDHE & CCCS), career & academic planning tools & assessments and “the village”.

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
