Reflective Questions for Students
Throughout the Academic & Career Planning process, students are encouraged to reflect on four main questions to help develop their ACP.
KNOW: Who am I?
What interests me?
What are my strongest skills?
What academic, career, and/or life skills would I like to develop before I graduate?
EXPLORE: What do I want to do?
What are the Career Clusters I am most interested in and why?
What type of degree or certificate do I need to support my goals?
Will this career choice support what I want for my financial future?
Which internal and external courses can I take to explore my interests?
What jobs would I like to shadow and when will I do that?
PLAN: How do I get there?
What schools offer a related degree/major?
In what areas will I pursue more rigorous coursework to support my strengths and/or areas of interest? Will I take AP courses, etc.?
Will my credits transfer to the school I want to attend?
How much do I anticipate that my post-secondary education my cost?
Will I qualify for Financial Aid and Scholarships?
Will I have the dispositions needed to find employment following high school?
What will I need to provide a competitive admissions application for the schools/majors I might be interested in? For example:
What level of math must I complete?
Do I need to complete a portfolio?

- Conferencing with counselors and/or parents.
- Filling our college applications and scholarships.
- Resume and Cover Letter.
