The EDP - Educational Development Plan College & Career Preparation
NAVIANCE! YOUR STUDENT'S EDP!!!!! In school, Counselors work with students on their EDP, Educational Development Plan starting in Middle School and continue to work with students every year until High School graduation. Counselors visit classrooms to work with students on their EDP and teach the students how to access, utilize and maintain their EDP. Parents can help in this process as well, by encouraging your student to update their EDP outside of school.
Naviance is the industry-leading online career guidance and planning system. People of all ages use our tools to find the right career, explore education and training options, and build their own portfolio. We LOVE this software as a first step in the Career/College selection process! Students can look of areas of interest and find out jobs that they may be able to do within their interest area. Students work on their EDPs in a classroom setting with their Counselors. During this time or on their own time students can then look up the Education required to get that job, classes you can take in Middle School, Majors/Minors in College that will help prepare them and Colleges that offer that Major. These programs will also help see students through their college application process, sending transcripts, and beyond
Please note that 100% completion of the EDP on a yearly basis (grade level specific components added each year) is a graduation requirement for AAPS.
