Missouri Connections
Missouri Connections: This is a comprehensive online platform that provides students, parents, and educators with educational planning resources and is sponsored by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Each student has their own login information for this system and can complete several career exploration activities including interest surveys, skill assessments, evaluation of job trends, resume building, and a course planner to help them map out and plan for High School.
Visit Missouri Connections for more information.
Career Paths: Career paths are six (6) different areas 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. Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of FOCUS, along with FLEXIBILITY and a VARIETY of ideas to pursue. 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. If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans as necessary.
Individualized Career Academic Plan (ICAP)
An ICAP is an outline of the actual courses and activities that a student participates in during their high school years. The student is encouraged to review their ICAP on a yearly basis with their parent, counselor, and advisor.
All 8th grade students will complete their ICAP with the school counselor
