What is it all really?
The ICAP, or Career & Academic Plan of
Study is a process that students participate
in, which results in an actual plan.
Process:
Developmentally
appropriate recommended
activities
Plan:
1. Student’s career cluster or pathway goal
2. Relevancy of student’s goal to post secondary
institution / workforce or other future option
3. Student’s intentional courses sequence &
relevant experience
Utilizing:
CTE, core curriculums, existing & available resources (CDE, CDHE & CCCS), career & academic
planning tools & assessments and “the village”.
Relevant Education Reform Initiatives
• Educator Effectiveness (SB09-191) – includes ICAP/PWR language.
• District Accountability (SB09-163) - include evidence of Postsecondary and Workforce
Readiness
• PS ICAP’s proposed in Higher Education Strategic Plan
• ICAPs & Dashboard included in Assessments System Timeline: 2010/2011
last CSAP, 2011-2013 CTAP (Colorado Transitional Assessment), 2013/2014 new PWR Assessment
(formative, simulated etc…)
• PWR attributes align to new CDE Standard Revisions.
• All 6th Grade Students required to have www.CollegeInColorado.org accounts (SB09-256)
• 9th graders can be Concurrent Enrollment eligible as long as they
have a Plan in place (showing intentional course sequence based on chosen Postsecondary Workforce
Goal)
Who else is doing this?
To Ponder…
How do I know they have an ICAP?
Who can I ask if they have one?
How can I work with the counselors?
What does this look like in an Online/Non Brick and Mortar classroom?
How do we use CiC?
How do we make this a robust process?
What about a students’ IEP?
