Through these activities, students are encouraged and given opportunities to set and evaluate their educational and career goals and develop their Individual Learning Plan that will help them achieve their educational, career and life goals.

Student and Parent Educational/Career Planning Conference The WCSCM has defined the mission of the Student and Parent Educational/Career Planning Conferences to: Require the school counselor(s) to provide curricular opportunities for all students in the areas of academic, personal/social and career development. Impact all students in the most effective manner concerning the importance of career decision making and planning for life after high school. Involve the school (student and counselor(s)), parents, and the community (business and industry) in the conferencing process and activities.

22. Student and Parent Educational/Career Planning Conference Common elements of an effective conferencing process include: School Counseling Curriculum Individual Assessment Materials Student Individual Learning Plans Resources and Options Framework

25. Impact of WCSCM As students understand themselves, explore the world around them and establish goals for their futures, they begin to see why an education is important. They no longer attend school simply to receive a diploma or avoid truancy. Instead, students understand the connection between success in school today and success in their careers tomorrow.
