Post Secondary Readiness
PEP TrainingAugust 27, 2011
How did you figure it out?
How did you learn what you needed to do to graduate?
How did you learn what you needed to do to apply to college?
How did you learn what you needed to do to pay for college?
Would it have helped to have a class on all this?
Today’s agenda
Overview of PEP (Personal Education Plan)Break-Out Sessions – group ALunchBreak-Out Sessions – group BBreak-Out Sessions – group CWrap-up and Closing
So much vocabulary…
• Personal Education Plan (PEP)• Post Secondary Plan• MyCAP (My Career and Academic Plan)• ICAP (Individual Career and Academic
Plan)• Transition Plan• Five year (six year) Plan• And more…
What is it really?
The Personal Education Plan is a process that students participate in, which results in an actual plan.
Process:grade level required and recommended
activities
Plan:1. student’s career cluster
or pathway goal2. student’s goal of which
type of post secondary institution
3. student’s four-year high school plan, including courses
Because we know it is best for students to make plans for their futures, even if those plans change.
Because the DPS Counseling Standards
include academic and
career planning for all students.
Because the ASCA National
Model has Individual
Student Planning as one of the
four components of the delivery
system.
Because a Personal Education Plan is part
of DPS’ graduation requirements.
Because the DPS School Board has Post Secondary Readiness
goals that we are charged to fulfill.
Because the 2009 state of Colorado’s School
Finance Act requires that sixth grade students
open a College In Colorado account in order
to being the ICAP process.
Because Colorado’s legislature passed laws
requiring ICAPs for secondary students. Colorado
Department of Education’s rules for the ICAP law require students in 9th through 12th grade to explore careers,
post secondary education, and high school success.
Why does this matter?
Because Colorado’s legislature passed the ASCENT legislation
reforming how high school students can participate in
concurrent enrollment programs. In order for a student to
participate in the ASCENT concurrent enrollment program, they must have an ICAP directly relating to the post-secondary
course.
