Individual Graduation Plan
In 2005, the State of South Carolina passed The Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA). The EEDA requires that by the end of the eighth grade, all students in consultation with their parents (or guardian), must have an Individual Graduation Plan or IGP completed before next year’s enrollment. IGP conferences are held each year throughout high school, giving students the opportunity to update their information annually.
The purpose of the IGP is to give students the opportunity to discuss their career inventories and choose a career cluster of interest before going into high school. Students start this process in the 6th and 7th grade by completing career interest inventories and participating in various career activities. This culminates with students selecting a career cluster during their 8th grade year. By choosing a career cluster in the 8th grade, students will be better informed about choosing electives in high school that will better prepare them for their chosen career beyond graduation – on the job or in college.
During the IGP conference, your child will present to you the following:
Current academic progress
Results of career cluster interest inventory
Post Secondary Goal
Current High School Credit Classes they are taking
South Carolina graduation requirements
Discussion of classes they would like to take in 9th grade
These meetings will start in November and parents will receive an invitation to the meeting
