Developing a Plan for Secondary School and Beyond
Ontario’s education and career/life planning program helps students to set and achieve their personal goals. The program helps students become competent, successful and contributing members of society.
In Grades 7 to 12, students document their goals and learning in myBlueprint, a web-based online pathway planning tool to document their Individual Pathways Plan (IPP). Throughout their high school years, students will explore their opportunities, goals and plans for their future careers. The Individual Pathways Plan is the main online planning tool for students as they move towards their next step after high school.
The Individual Pathways Plan gives students the opportunity to develop a valuable repertoire of their learning and planning resources in preparation for post-seondary. Students are encouraged to design their Individual Pathways Plan, and update it regularly. Students are able to share the learning they document in their Individual Pathways Plan with a teacher and/or guidance teacher-counsellor. Students are also encouraged to share their learning with their parent(s)/caregiver(s). For additional information, see the Creative Pathways to Success policy.
