  3. Potential Problems • Limited Options may result from: ~ poor grades ~ poor course planning ~ poor attendance

  4. Keep Options Open • Students who plan have choices: ~ not every student will be thinking about college/careers ~ each child deserves the opportunity to make that choice ~ look at the requirements ~ students interests

  5. Keep Options Open (Continued) ~ strengths/weaknesses ~ create a 4-year plan ~ course load balancing ~ time constraints
