Student Success Plan for
Delaware
SSP Homepage
The SSP Homepage is the
central point from which
students can access all of the
features and functions available
in the SSP.
Schools can send messages to
students. Schools can also add
links to related online career,
education, and community
resources.
The My Documents section of the
SSP allows students to store files
such as essays and presentations,
letters of reference, and scanned
artwork.
Career Matchmaker Results
The SSP is fully integrated with
the Career Cruising career
guidance system.
Students can save their results
from the Career Matchmaker
interest inventory.
Students are asked about their
likes and dislikes in a variety of
areas, such as working with
children, being interested in law,
working outdoors.
Students receive a list of 40
career suggestions ranked in
order of suitability.
Careers & Schools that Interest Me
Students can bookmark individual
careers and colleges that they are
interested in and record their
thoughts about each.
Career and college names link
directly to detailed profiles so
students can access information
quickly and easily.
Career Cluster Interests
National 16 Career Clusters
have been integrated in a
variety of ways. Here students
can indicate which clusters are
of particular interest to them
and why.
Clicking on the name of a
cluster takes students to a
page with links to related
career profiles.
Career Planning Activities
Students can document the
career planning and
development activities in
which they have participated,
including job shadowing,
attending career or college
fairs, internships, and co-op
placements.
Extracurricular Activities
In the Extracurricular Activities
section, students can detail the
organizations and activities in which
they participate.
The Hobbies & Interests section allows
students to record the informal or
independent activities that they enjoy.
Volunteer Experience
Students can document their
volunteer experiences,
including the number of hours
they have completed and the
name of their reference or
supervisor.
Related files, such as a letter of
reference or timesheet, can be
uploaded and linked to
particular records.
Students can also enter their
work experience in the same
fashion.
Education Plan
The Education Plan allows
students to record the high
school courses they have
taken, are taking now, or
plan to take in the future.
Schools can use this section
to help students create a
course schedule that meets
their career and educational
goals. Data from the
Education Plan can also be
used to forecast course
demand.
Resume Builder
The SSP also includes a
Resume Builder, which takes
information students have
already entered and helps them
create a customized resume.
Students can select a variety of
styles and can choose the order
in which the sections appear,
allowing them to create
chronological, functional or
combined format resumes.
The resume can be printed from
a web browser or exported as a
Word, text, or html file.
SSP Completion Standards
SSP Completion Standards
clearly define the objectives
and expectations for students.
With the SSP Completion
Status Bar, students can view
requirements and track their
progress towards meeting
those specific objectives.
SSP Completion Standards are set on
a grade by grade basis. The SSP is a
progressive experience for students
as they build their plan over time.
Completion Standards help
ensure that students keep their
SSPs up to date. Each year
students must review and
revise the required sections of
their SSP and reflect on the
changes they have made to
achieve completion.
School SSP Administration System
The School SSP Administration System helps teachers, counselors, and
administrators implement and manage the SSP at their school:
• Retrieve student SSP usernames and passwords.
• View individual students’ SSPs.
• Create and manage advisor accounts to ensure that staff have access to the
features and information they need.
• Monitor SSP Completion Status both
individually and at the aggregate level.
• Generate a wide variety of
customizable reports for data collected
in the SSP.
• Customize Career Cruising and the
SSP Tool.
• Send messages to students and add
links to the SSP Homepage.
School SSP Administration System
Integration with Delaware’s
student information system
takes the burden of student
information management off
of individual schools.
Students are added,
transferred, and promoted
automatically.
The Student List
The Student List provides
access to a number of options:
• Retrieve student usernames
and passwords
• View student SSPs or resumes
• View or add to students’
Advisement Log
• Record students’ Annual SSP
Review
• View detailed completion
status reports
Export the Student List to distribute
usernames and passwords, to create
checklists, or other purposes for which
you might need the list of student SSPs.
• Create and view Parent
accounts, comments, and
review status
• Send messages to individual
students
Advisor Profiles
Individual advisor profiles allow users
access to the tools and data they need.
Four security levels ensure that
students’ personal information is
protected.
Students can be assigned to advisors
and teachers to provide quick and easy
access to their students’ data.
SSP Completion Reports
Track overall student achievement
through a variety of SSP Completion
Standards Reports.
Quickly and easily monitor students’
progress at a glance and view detailed
breakdowns.
Identify students who are not meeting
expectations to determine what help is
needed.
SSP Reports
The system includes a robust real-time
reporting package to analyze data
collected in the SSP.
Reports can be customized to report
on particular groups of students based
on grade, gender and assigned
advisor.
Resources & Support Materials
A variety of support documents
help schools implement the ILP
in the way that works best for
them:
• User’s Guides for Career
Cruising, the SSP, and the
School ILP Administration Tool.
• Classroom Activities and
Independent Research Projects.
• Implementation Suggestions
• Documents to help introduce
parents to the SSP and Career
Cruising.
Career Cruising provides phone and email
