Academic and Career Planning
Fall '18- JMM
What is Academic and Career Planning?
A) monitor and set goals for growth in the areas of Madison's Graduate Vision
B) explore options for classes, activities, careers, colleges, and majors that fit their interests, values, skills, talents, and lifestyle
C) develop and revise plans to pursue the growth goals and options of highest priority to them
The mission of Academic and Career Planning is to support all students in becoming
College-Career-Community Ready. Students do some of their ACP work and store artifacts in XELLO, a powerful exploration, goal-setting, and portfolio tool purchased by MMSD for all students. XELLO can be accessed by JMM students through a link at the bottom of the
Academic & Career Planning is an MMSD and WI Goal!
Encourage your student to routinely imagine their future, and let that image change and evolve...
ACP and AVID SCHOOLWIDE Strategies support each other

What happened to "Advisory"?
Starting in 2017-18, JMM discontinued our Advisory program. We found that there were ways in which it needed supporting that were not possible. In the interest of continuing with high impact strategies, Academic and Career Planning activities are now designed to occur primarily within student classes. Our student news program, SPARTAN NEWS, will still be viewed at the end of a morning class period once per week, and JMM will also have occasional HOMEROOMS at the end of a morning class on occasion, to build community and when programming calls for it.
ACP at Home...
Notice your student's interests, talents, and values, and encourage them
to find opportunities to explore them in and outside of the classroom
Remind your student that most academic and career areas
have multiple pathways to success within them
Help your student get connected with the resources they need
to successfully pursue their goals
