All scholars in grades 7-12 are required to have an Educational Development Plan (EDP) which is initially created in the 7th grade, and updated throughout high school by the scholar. The EDP is a plan of action that allows scholars to identify and record career goals, personal and academic assessment results and extracurricular activities. This plan is available online and allows scholars to create a four year plan that will meet and follow the scholar’s selected Career Pathway. Revisions of the EDP shall be made upon request of the scholar or parent/guardian.
Scholars in GRPS will use an online application, such as Career Cruising, which is an interactive, comprehensive career guidance resource-based reference that provides career search tools, multimedia interviews with people in certain careers, labor market information regarding various careers, and college and university information. The online resource allows scholars to find careers that match their interests in terms of school subjects, education level, income, working conditions, and other important factors. Once a scholar has signed up for this, scholars and parents may access this from home.
