I.C.A.P Across Grade Levels

Setting Postsecondary Goals

2 of 8

ICAP is a multi-year state mandated plan that intentionally guides students as they explore career, academic and post-secondary opportunities. Everyone has a contribution they can make to a student's ICAP process. We would like to gather information about what you are already doing with students to support the ICAP.

​

ICAPs include but are not limited to:

Career and college interest surveys

Short and long term goal writing

Course planning and elective selection

Discussion of career pathways within subject areas

Connecting school based instruction to the world of work Identifying and practicing 21st century skills

Discussions about the financial impact of life after high school, including education
