Individual Plan of Study (IPS) is a State Board of Education Outcome. All students, beginning in middle school, will develop an IPS based on their career interests. An IPS is both the product a student develops and a process the school implements to guide students in developing future plans. A student’s IPS is developed cooperatively between the student, school staff members, and family members. The IPS is shared with families at Student-Led conferences in October each year. There are four minimum components of a student’s IPS:
A series of strength finders and career-interest inventories to help students identify career cluster preferences.
An eighth- through 12th-grade course-builder function with course selections based on career interests.
A postsecondary plan (workforce, military, certification, two-year college, four-year college).
A portable electronic portfolio.
