  12. DEVELOPING YOUR IGP(Individualized Graduation Plan)

  13. Why Develop an IGP? • The IGP captures decisions about the direction in which the student wishes to go in high school and postsecondary education • Specifies cluster, major, postsecondary goals, planned high school schedule, planned out-of class career activities • Reviewed annually throughout high school by students, parents, and guidance counselors • Puts students and parents in control of education and career decision-making

  14. Format of IGP Development • 8th Grade - Select a broad school of study for 9th Grade • 9th Grade - Revise school of study if needed and select a cluster of study and/or a major for 10th through 12th Grade • 10th Grade – Select a major • 11th thru 12th - Make adjustments to IGP as needed

  17. Change and Flexibility • Remember that IGP’s are tentative plans. • Young people change ideas and direction. • Classes will not always fit in students’ schedules, or may not be offered due to lack of enrollment. • Changes can be made! • Keep the District Course Catalog handy; teachers can use this in advisement with students and to help students connect the relevance between academic coursework and their career majors
