Dear Parents and Students:

This Career and Educational Planning Guide is intended to assist students as they make plans for a career that will lead to a rewarding and enjoyable future We urge students and parents to work with the school faculty to review the information in this book in preparation for creating the students’ personal plan of study Each year you will annually revisit the student’s personal plan of study The personal plan of study is the student’s unique plan of study which outlines courses that align with future education and career goals When students see the relevancy of high school course work to what they aspire

to in their future, they are more apt to take school more seriously and enroll in more rigorous courses Remember, course selection is very important and schedule changes can be very difficult

Parent, please familiarize yourself with the abundance of information in this book and actively participate with your school and student in creating and reviewing your child’s personal plan of study Students rank parents as the most influential people in their lives Challenge your students to set high standards, select courses and school activities which directly help them achieve personal and career goals, work hard to achieve these goals and attend classes daily Embrace the power of your influence and genuinely engage in educational pursuits with your child(ren).

We look forward to partnering with you for a successful year Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Todd Whitney Cindy Bentley, Ed.S.

Purpose of Career Paths and Career ClustersCareer Paths

Career paths are clusters of occupations/careers grouped according to participants’ interests and talents or skills All paths include a variety of occupations that require different levels of education and training Thus, career paths provide a plan for all students, whatever their interests, abilities, talents, or desired levels of education Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of focus, along withflexibility and a variety of ideas to pursue The focus of career paths is on helping students choose a career path, not a specific occupation Selecting a career path is not a lifelong commitment; it is a place

to begin focusing one’s energies As students take different courses and learn more about themselves and careers, they will probably change career paths Students who understand the career paths concept will be aware that there are a variety of other related possibilities if the first path no longer fits

12

them If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans as necessary

Benefits

Identifying a career path can help you in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time

employment If can also help guide your participation in job shadowing, career exploration, and

internships A career path choice is not a permanent commitment; if you decide on a different career path to explore, you should discuss it with your counselor and adjust your future course selections in accordance with your new career exploration

Career Exploration Assessments

Lafayette County C-1 School students complete career exploration assessments starting in the 8th

grade This is a way the student can identify an initial career path choice Counselors will then use this information to assist students in making course selections and developing a five-year plan The PLAN test is administered in the 10th grade It provides an inventory that will indicate which career clusters interest the student This will help the student update his/her personal plan of study and career path

Choosing a Career Path

1 Identify your interests, abilities, and talents

2 Identify the career path or cluster that relates to your interest, abilities, and talents

3 Explore occupations in those career paths or clusters

4 Decide how much education you want to receive after high school

5 Develop a personal plan of study by selecting courses and co-curricular activities that relate to your educational and career goal

6 If undecided regarding a career path or cluster, choose courses from different career areas to give you a better idea of your interest
