Academic & Career Planning
Each student has his or her own constellation of talents, interests and strengths. Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is an adult-supported process that provides students in grades 6-12 with the opportunity to uncover their unique interests and strengths and investigate careers that dovetail with their passions and abilities. The process continues through the identification of middle and high school instructional activities aligned to a student's particular field of interest, and the development of a plan for understanding next steps in planning for the future.
Our ACP program authentically engages students in developing their future identity by providing meaningful experiences and making learning connections to build confidence, gain focus, and develop the passion that informs their career pathway. Our objective is that students will develop their sense of internal motivation and a vision for their future so that each student graduates with a sense of purpose, capable of taking advantage of vast opportunities to reach his or her career aspirations.
MTSD uses Xello to help students explore their future academic and career options. Xello is an online program that helps our students in Grades 6-12 create their very own, unique roadmap for college, career, and future success. Interactive assessments highlight career pathways aligned with a student's skills, interests, and unique personality.
