CONNECTING THE IPP WITH DUAL CREDITS AND ACTIVITIES Central Lakes Regional Planning Team
Creating Pathways to Success CPS Vision All students leave with a clear plan for their initial postsecondary destination, with confidence in their ability to implement, and revise or adapt, their plan throughout their lives as they and the world around them change. Students will be the architects of their own lives.
Past Assumptions With access to accurate information and some guidance, individuals would independently acquire the skills they needed for effective career planning. Only some students need support and they will seek out assistance as needed. (Krumboltz and Worthington, 1999) Creating Pathways to Success, p. 6
Todays Reality The challenges and opportunities faced by students in this century are unlike those of any previous generation, and that all students today require specific knowledge and skills in education and career/life planning to support them in making sound choices throughout their lives. To make sound career decisions people also need to develop tools [e.g. strategies] for processing the information. (Dietsche, 2010) Creating Pathways to Success, p. 6
TALK TO THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU WHAT DOES IPP STAND FOR?
What is an IPP? Individual Pathway Plan Starting in Grade 7 students will document their learning in education and career/life planning in a web-based Individual Pathways Plan (IPP).7 The IPP becomes the primary planning tool for students as they move through the grades towards their initial postsecondary destination. Ongoing development of the IPP also provides students with a valuable archive of their learning and a record of the resources that can assist them in planning. Creating Pathways to Success, p. 18

Pilot for Dual Credit Students Georgian has 7 campuses, with a wide range of service levels RPT chose to bring students from a small campus to the main campus in Barrie to connect them with academic offerings related to their dual credit The Essential Body students had a tour of health sciences labs Culture and Cuisine students had a tour of culinary & hospitality facilities In at least one case, this was life transforming. Seeing the options was exciting for students and helped them choose a program to study. Making Decisions and Setting Goals
Next Steps Working closely with all Boards involved, students who participate in activities and/or dual credits will connect these to their IPP. Initially this will be done Board by Board through teaching staff or a customized approach to accommodate individual Board roll outs. Ultimately, this connection will not only be addressed through teaching staff, but directly with students when the IPP has been fully implemented.
