What is the students personalized academic and career plan?
As part of the newly passed requirements for middle grades promotion, each student should be enrolled in a career and education planning course in seventh or eighth grade. The course must include career exploration using CHOICES or a comparable cost effective program, and education planning using the online student advising system known as Florida Academic Counseling and Tracking for Students (FACTS), and shall result in the completion of a personalized academic and career plan. The purpose of the personalized academic and career plan is to provide each student with a plan based on individual aspirations and goals for postsecondary education and possible careers. The plan should include information such as short and long-term goals, results of personal assessments such as interests, values, skills, and aptitudes, careers/clusters of interest, and an electronic personalized education plan (ePEP). The plan must be signed by the student, the students guidance counselor or academic advisor
