Why MyPlanPA?

MyPlanPA supports schools in fulfilling state requirements while inspiring learners to pursue their dreams. MyPlanPA is a place to plan, implement, and report on career plans, portfolios, graduation pathways, industry-recognized credentials, and all types of work-based learning. Through its intuitive and simple approach, MyPlanPA allows for collaborative career development and teamwork between learners, school personnel, parents/guardians, and community stakeholders.

At MyPlanPA, we're dedicated to empowering learners in taking ownership of their career development journey.... and make career planning, portfolio, grad pathway, and work-based learning requirements a little easier on all of us!

Furthermore, MyPlanPA's streamlined approach to PA State-Aligned Career Plans, Portfolios (ACT 339), Graduation Pathways (ACT 158), and Work-Based Learning (PA Future Ready Index) allows for career program management in one simple-to-use platform.

See below for an explanation of MyPlanPA's 4 P's:

Plans, Portfolios, Pathways, & Plus: WBL

PLANS: SIMPLE CAREER PLANNING

Career Choice, High School, and Postsecondary Plans

We believe that through setting clear goals, the path forward becomes clearer and more easily focused.  Just as it is difficult to steer a parked car, we stress the importance of moving in a direction.  We encourage learners to trust the process of choosing a direction, planning and taking steps in that direction, then making adjustments through reflection and meaningful changes.  MyPlanPA is not a career content platform, it is a place to plan and document action steps toward chosen directions and goals.

In MyPlanPA, students identify their current first and second career choices and select the related national career clusters (This allows for both ultimate flexibility and sorting within clusters for program management).  They also identify high school programs and courses they will choose to be part of that will help prepare them for their chosen career direction.  Furthermore, they plan their postsecondary action steps and are encouraged to login whenever they complete steps in the process or to make adjustments to the plan. 

PORTFOLIOS: FLEXIBLE SOLUTION

339 PORTFOLIO SOLUTION

We're thrilled to introduce you to our flexible portfolio solution, which is designed to revolutionize the way you track and report on career readiness.  Flexibility is the name of the game to be able to empower staff and learners to choose what artifacts to complete to meet state standards.  Especially as the new Career and Work Standards are being rolled out in PA in the coming years.

With MyPlanPA, we're shifting from mere compliance to genuine commitment in guiding our students to success. Our platform allows learners and teachers to add customized artifacts to their career portfolios, aligning seamlessly with CEW (Career and Work Standards) requirements.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all portfolios; now, you can integrate standard-aligned artifacts from traditional career readiness tools or empower learners and teachers to personalize their portfolios with their own unique achievements and experiences.

But that's not all—school districts can now customize artifact lists through standard mapping, allowing for compliance in creative ways that increase student engagement and ownership of the process.

By meeting learners where they're at and allowing for individualization of artifact completion, MyPlanPA inspires students to pursue their first-choice futures with confidence.

PATHWAYS: ACT 158 TOTAL SOLUTION

TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF GRADUATION PATHWAYS

MyPlanPA provides one place where data, artifacts, and plans combine for inspiration.  Learner's graduation profile pages contain intuitive visuals of pathway options and possibilities, allowing learners to own their pathway progress and feel empowered to take steps toward their future.  Also, having a bird's-eye-view of the individual and collective pathway progress for planning and reporting decreases stress for administrators and increases the rationale for program participation across all work-based learning.  MyPlanPA makes sense of mandates!

Our MyPlanPA Graduation Pathway System:

• Supports CSV Uploading for easy Data Management

• Utilizes a Three-Way Toggle for Planning and Completion

• Provides one Place for Creating, Storing, and Reporting Artifacts

More than state-mandated reports...

Graduation Pathways is one of those areas in education that is wrapped in both mind-numbing requirements and powerful potential.  It has the ability be a box to check and be a means to guide student success.  MyPlanPA supports educators in doing BOTH of these things.   MyPlanPA was designed to ensure each learner secures ample evidence to meet their assigned pathway for graduation and that it is SIMPLE for schools to track and report that information back to the state.

With MyPlanPA, Graduation Pathways become a collaborative effort between the student and the school team.... and isn't that what we all want?

Collaboration creates student success.

PLUS: Work-Based Learning Made Easy

What can MyPlanPA do for my Work-Based Learning Program?

One of the challenges that MyPlanPA solves is being able to provide robust work-based learning solutions that are "CO-OP" compliant, including all necessary components to support a credit-bearing work-based learning program, yet also provide quick and flexible solutions for reporting short-term career exposure activities.  MyPlanPA seamlessly integrates completion of all types of work-based learning activities into Learner Portfolios for 339 Reporting, Learner's Graduation Pathways for ACT 158 Reporting, and also to their general work-based learning activity completion dashboard, for Future Ready Index Reporting.  We have intentionally designed the program to help schools be able to organize and maintain these items in order to free our educators to focus on education, inspiration, and impact rather than getting bogged down in the stress of mandate management.
