Dynamic Post-Secondary Planning: engaging students in the university planning process

Each student’s Personalized Action Plan will include:

  • What we have learned about the student by looking at results of student or parent surveys and assessments, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT), grades, and extracurricular activities in order to prepare a preliminary list of target universities
  • Research we have student complete in order to learn more about each university and compare the suggested institutions; this often includes making campus visits
  • The student’s needs, preferences, and career objectives as well as academic, social, emotional and financial aspects are paramount
  • Creating a plan which will include application TYPE, organizing dates/deadlines, identifying key milestones
  • Overseeing the execution of the Plan by setting assignments and meeting regularly to review student’s progress and to edit all work that has been completed

For students, this journey is part of their growing process and just as important as the outcome.
