Recent & Relevant Education Reform Initiatives… • Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids(CAP4K) • Concurrent Enrollment • School Counselor Corps Grant Program • Accountability Alignment • Dropout Prevention and Student Reengagement • State Assessment Revision • Individual Career and Academic Plans

  9. 1.00 Statement of Basis and Purpose • Pursuant to SB 09-256, the State Board of Education is required to promulgate rules to establish standards for Individual Career and Academic Plans (“ICAP”) for students enrolled in public schools in the state. The intent of this provision in the legislation is to ultimately decrease dropout rates and increase graduation rates by assisting students in developing and maintaining a personalized postsecondary plan that ensures readiness for postsecondary and workforce success. • An ICAP shall be designed to assist a student and his or her parent or legal guardian in exploring the postsecondary career and educational opportunities available to the student, aligning course work and curriculum, applying to postsecondary education institutions, securing financial aid and ultimately entering the workforce.

  10. ICAP = Real Opportunities • WHAT? Every student will create, revise & follow a pathway that leads to career success. • HOW? Through seamless career & academic plans • WHY? To develop a globally competitive workforce for Colorado.

  11. What is it all really? The ICAP, or Academic Plan of Study is a process that students participate in, which results in an actual plan. ICAP = A TOOL FOR HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CAREERS AND GOALS • Plan: • Student’s career cluster or pathway goal • Relevancy of student’s goal to post secondary institution / workforce or other future option • Student’s four-year high school plan (some use 6-year), including courses, extracurricular & CE options Process: Developmentally appropriate grade level required and recommended activities Utilizing: Aligned content standards of ASCA National Model & CTE, core curriculums, CDE, existing, available “village” and college, career & academic planning tools and resources

All Freshman will complete ICAP activities during their Freshman Seminar class (meets daily) • We have divided sophomores, juniors, and seniors into mentor groups (15-18 students each). • Each high school teacher has been assigned a mentor group. • The teacher/mentor is responsible for monitoring the ICAP Plan in CIC (running reports and student follow-up) • Every Thursday from 3:00-3:37 (Activity Time) students will meet in their mentor’s rooms. • On Thursdays, designated groups will be working in CIC on their plans. Students not working on CIC attend student meetings (FBLA, Senior/Junior Class meetings etc). • Each week we will rotate which groups are in CIC and which are in meetings so everyone will have the opportunity to build their ICAP.

The ICAP process assists every student in setting life goals and forming a plan to achieve their goals. The ICAP will help students select a pathway of relevant coursework in Middle School and High School, based on their interests and desired career goals. ICAP is designed to provide each student opportunities to discover their talents and carefully plan a school program that develops marketable skills for life after graduation.
