CESA #1 has created a virtual repository for students to explore local career pathways. Videos from
regional employers, business partners, and post-secondary institutions will be available for each of
the 16 career clusters.

We encourage schools to utilize this resource with students as part of their Academic and Career
Planning (ACP) program. Students can view as many videos as assigned to them and complete an
activity guide for further ACP planning and in-class discussion. After completing the registration
below, ACP Coordinators will receive access to the Career Symposium website which can be
shared with students.

Use this slide deck from CESA 3 to introduce new staff to the basics of ACP or to refresh current staff on the components of PI26.

Evaluating and refining your ACP program should be done as part of your continuous improvement process.This toolkit, intended for district or building leaders, provides the following quality tools and guidance so you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel” to carry out an ACP program evaluation.

Final Projects have been identified as one of the most impactful ACP practices, according to the WEC survey on Wisconsin ACP programs. Use this Community of Practice presentation to learn from a number of school districts about their ACP final projects.

This easy-to-use tool will help your district's career readiness team reflect on your ACP infrastructure, develop an ACP Graduate Profile, and map out your ACP components while identifying which components all students should access before graduating.  By the end you will be ready to set goals related to your ACP implementation that will help you create a custom ACP Professional Development Plan for your district!

The district ACP team will efficiently create a graphic representation of your district's ACP implementation using the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Infrastructure and ACP Component Rubrics. This will be used as a basis to identify gaps in ACP delivery and barriers for implementation. It will be the basis for the development or improvement of an ACP implementation plan.

Use this Community of Practice webinar to create a district graduate profile which incorporates social and emotional learning and employability skills to best prepare your students for their next steps in life.

Employers share that employability skills are often the most essential skills that an employee can possess (or lack). Find out how your district can address employability skills through the adoption of  Social Emotional Learning competencies.

All students enrolled in grades 6 through 12 in a school district will participate in ACP. This includes students with disabilities who have IEPs and Section 504 accommodation plans. Use this Community of Practice webinar to make sure that ALL of your students have equal access to Academic and Career Planning opportunities.
