All students in the AASD will experience a dynamic Academic Career Plan. This plan evolves from PK-12 learning experiences, both in and out of school, that support employability skills, career awareness, exploration, planning and training.

Learning Experiences that Support The CBL Process

Employability Skills
A set of achievements, understandings and personal attributes that make individuals more likely to gain employment and to be successful in their chosen occupations, most frequently mentioned are: communication, teamwork, leadership, initiative, problem-solving, flexibility and enthusiasm

Career Awareness
Exposure to career opportunities to connect to personal interests, talents and employability skills needed for success

Exploration
Develop an ACP representing a match of interests, aptitudes and academic outcomes

Planning and Training
Self reflect and leverage career networks to carry out ACP
Identify an adult mentor/advisor from their ACP career network

Students will have:

• a post-high school plan to implement and a back-up plan
• an actual real-world exposure in their career focused area
• participate in a reflective evaluation-exit interview prior to graduation
