Implementation of ACP
Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is a student-driven, adult supported process in which students create and cultivate their own unique and information-based visions for post-secondary success, obtained through self-exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (http://dpi.wi.gov/acp) in the PI-26 legislation requires public school districts to provide academic and career planning services to students in Grades 6 through12. These new academic and career planning requirements connect school districts' education for employment plans and programs to the new academic and career planning requirements.
