WHAT WILL AN ACP PLAN LOOK LIKE FOR A JWMS STUDENT?
Students in the School District of Rhinelander will use Xello, an internet based career exploration planning tool to learn more about themselves and develop their plan. The students will create an e-portfolio that holds their self assessment results, personal interests, custom lessons, life experiences, career choices, and goals. Students may access this tool from school or home from the JWMS website as a Quick Link under the Student tab.
Lessons will be provided from Homeroom teachers and School Counselors on a monthly basis beginning in 6th grade but students are encouraged to review and modify their plan at any time. A student’s goals and plans may change several times as they gain knowledge and experiences through middle and high school years. It is all about exploring opportunities that are compatible with a student’s vision for their future.
