planned and directed by school counselors that
assists students in planning, monitoring, and
managing their own learning, as well as, their
personal and career development. Through these
activities, students are encouraged and given
opportunities to set and evaluate their
educational and career goals and develop their
Individual Learning Plan that will help them
achieve their educational, career and life goals.
21. Student and Parent
Educational/Career Planning
Conference
The WCSCM has defined the mission of the Student and Parent
Educational/Career Planning Conferences to:
Require the school counselor(s) to provide curricular opportunities
for all students in the areas of academic, personal/social and career
development.
Impact all students in the most effective manner concerning the
importance of career decision making and planning for life after
high school.
Involve the school (student and counselor(s)), parents, and the
community (business and industry) in the conferencing process and
activities.

Students will investigate the inter-relationship
of educational achievement, life goals, career
planning, training and placement; evaluate
the present job market and analyze
predictions of future trends at local, regional,
state, national and global levels; and propose
career options based on their Individual
Learning Plan.

ILP’s meet benchmarks within the Model
Academic Standards for school counseling
ILP’s take into account what happens to
students outside the walls of the school
building
ILP’s can provide a process and product for
students to use that opens them up to unique
educational and career opportunities
25. Impact of WCSCM
As students understand themselves, explore
the world around them and establish goals for
their futures, they begin to see why an
education is important. They no longer attend
school simply to receive a diploma or avoid
truancy. Instead, students understand the
connection between success in school today
and success in their careers tomorrow.
