Individual Student Planning

Individual Student Planning

Individual Student Planning helps students begin thinking about their future and how their interests, strengths, and goals connect to their education. During the middle school years, counselors guide students in reflecting on their abilities, exploring career interests, and understanding how their academic choices support their long-term success.

Through Individual Student Planning, students learn to:

• Set personal and academic goals

• Identify their strengths and interests

• Understand how education connects to future careers

• Begin planning for high school opportunities

School counselors use tools such as interest inventories, goal-setting activities, and career exploration lessons to help students begin building a vision for their future.
