Academic and Career Planning (ACP)

Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is a student-driven, adult-supported process in which students create and cultivate their own unique and information-based visions for post-secondary success, obtained through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills." The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (http://dpi.wi.gov/acp) in the PI-26 legislation requires public school districts to provide academic and career planning services to students in grades 6 through 12 beginning in the 2017-18 school year. These academic and career planning requirements connect school districts’ education for employment plans and programs to the academic and career planning requirements. 

Mishicot Middle School has been utilizing the Academic and Career Planning since 2013. The heart of our ACP lies within a ACP website process the middle school implements during Advisement twice a week. 

Mishicot Middle School College and Career Readiness Skills

The Mishicot Middle School Readiness Skills are a set of nine skills created by local employers to support our students in developing the skills employers are looking for in future employees and learners. At the middle school level, we emphasize the importance of these skills through our Student of the Month recognition and our Reflective Practices which are a requirement of our student ACP website development. Below you will find a listing of each Mishicot Middle School Readiness Skill along with a description.
