Why we ICAP

• Academic Achievement:

  • ICAP development supports academic achievement by providing long term goals for career and college admissions

  • ICAP development increases graduation rate by providing motivation to help students stay on track, graduate on time, and maintain strong academic standing for postsecondary readiness

• Culture of Long Term Planning:                                          

  • A strong school ICAP culture creates a culture of long term planning and forward thinking.

  • Students who invest in individual, career and academic planning create a vision of success for their future.

• Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR):

  • ICAP development prepares students for the world of work, career and advanced academics.

  • When students match their interests, skills and abilities with careers and post-graduate academic programs, they become postsecondary and workforce ready.

"I believe that talking to students about what they want to become is the key to engagement."
