What is ACP?
Academic and Career Planning (ACP) is a collaboratively developed, student-driven process where students cultivate their own informed decisions for post-secondary success. Also known by some groups as Individualized Learning Plans (ILP), research on the benefits indicates that the ACP process increases student motivation, engagement, school connection, and awareness of individual strengths and weaknesses. Students utilizing ACP also improve their understanding of postsecondary options, better connect their goals to educational coursework and career goal activities and engage in long-term planning for life after high school graduation.
At North Lakeland School, we are committed to providing a robust Academic and Career Planning (ACP) experience that exceeds the requirements of Wisconsin State Statute PI 26. We believe that career readiness begins with self-discovery and ends with a confident transition to high school. Our "Know, Explore, Plan, Go" framework is uniquely tailored to our community, ensuring students are prepared for both local opportunities and the global economy.
