The L’Anse High
School Guidance Program
is a comprehensive model
consisting of four
components. Although the
emphasis is on the
individual student
planning portion, all
four components are
important to the success
of the program.
Individual Student
Planning
During
individual student
planning; students will
evaluate their
educational,
occupational, and
personal goals.
Assistance will be
provided in the
following three areas:
Individual appraisal:
Analyzing and evaluating
student abilities,
interests, skills, and
achievements.
Development and review
of Education Development
Plans (EDPs)
Individual advisement:
Advise student use of
personal/social,
educational, career and
labor market information
in planning personal,
educational, and career
goals. Involvement of
students, parents,
guardians, and school
personnel is critical.
Transitions:
Assist students in
making the transition
from school-to-school,
school-to-work, or
school to higher
education or
career/technical
training.
Responsive
Services
Activities
to meet immediate needs
and concerns of students
whether these needs or
concerns require
counseling,
consultation, referral,
or information.
Guidance
Curriculum
The
Guidance Curriculum
component allows for
academic, career, and
personal/social
development. This will
be achieved through
classroom lessons,
interdisciplinary
curriculum development,
and group activities.
Systems Support
Management
activities that
establish, maintain, and
enhance the guidance
program. Professional
development,
consultation/collaboration
with staff and
community, and program
management are a few
ways to develop this
component.
