INTRODUCTION
As you begin the process of selecting classes and preparing for the future, we encourage you to
use the information contained in this catalog to guide your course selection. If you are new to this process
and have additional questions, please contact the guidance office at the school. The charts listed in the next few pages will provide a summary of the different levels of curriculum that are available, as well as
the various career majors and courses that are offered. These course offerings are subject to change based
upon availability of teachers and staffing requirements.
Letcher County Central High School is a fully accredited high school as evaluated by the
Kentucky Department of Education and Advance Ed/Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. We
offer students a wide variety of classes and 3 general course programs to meet graduation requirements:
Minimum Requirements, Pre-College Curriculum, and the Honors/Advanced Placement Curriculum. Each
career cluster, area of concentration, and major offered in our school can be earned using multiple
pathways. However, only those students completing a minimum of the Pre-College Curriculum may be
eligible for special honors during graduation.
Minimum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for students who are to enter the work
force or military after graduation. Students can easily meet Pre-college curriculum requirements by adding
two years of foreign language.
Pre-college Curriculum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for students who plan to
further their education after high school by enrolling in a 2 or 4 year college, or in a career/technical school.
Honors/Advanced Placement Curriculum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for
students who plan to attend 4 years or more of college and want the opportunity to earn college credit at the
high school level.

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING PLAN
Career Planning and Individual Learning Plans Career planning is an important part of career development and charting your future. One
component of this process is the development of an Individual Learning Plan. Beginning with the class of
2002, each Kentucky high school student must complete an Individual Learning Plan. The plan should
begin in the 6th grade, but no later than the 8th grade, to help you in planning and making decisions
regarding your future. You will focus on career goals, select an appropriate career or career cluster and
choose the academic and career/technical courses necessary to meet these goals. The ILP can also help you
focus on the connection between course work and goals after high school. Additionally, the ILP process
gets your parents involved in the academic and career decisions that will help you determine your future. The Individual Learning Plan brings your academic and career needs into sharper focus.
Therefore, these goals are continually re-evaluated throughout the high school years to reflect any
changes or needs you may have. The ILP will make certain that you have the best chance to reach
and possibly go beyond the goals you have set for yourself. Listed below is some further
information which will hopefully answer any questions you have about the ILP process. As
always, you can contact a school administrator or counselor if you have any questions.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE ILP?
Since the ILP is now web-enabled, it will provide more tools and opportunities for the student than the IGP
could in its paper-based form. It has many features and resources that involve students on a variety of levels:
-Exploring careers beginning in the 6th grade
-Finding careers that match their skills and interests
-Creating education plans
-Establishing personal goals and revisit these as they progress through school
-Creating, maintaining and changing resumes
-Tracking and reflecting on their community services experiences, work experiences, career-planning
activities, and extra-curricular and organization activities
-Exploring colleges and postsecondary opportunities that match their career, postsecondary and life goals
-Connecting to the GoHigherKY.org Web site for help with college planning, tuition assistance information
and applications
-Collecting personal information like assessment results, advising activities demographic information and
educational history
Research shows that teachers can become better connected with student interests and can provide more
individual attention or advice to students when it's needed when there is a process in place to give students
individual attention. The ILP will be invaluable to high schools, middle schools and districts as they plan
course offerings and staffing to meet the academic and career interests of students.
HOW DO COUNSELORS/TEACHERS/ADVISORS/PARENTS USE MY ILP?
The ILP will play a key role in the advising component of the students' education. Students will be
able to engage in advising and guidance specific to their educational goals based around the ILP. The new
Letcher County Central High School Course Catalog – March 8, 2014

tool will allow students to upload documents they feel are representative of their educational experience
and level that could be viewed by anyone they wish.
Teachers could use this tool to better know their students. Teachers as advisors will have the opportunity to
record advising topics, notes and reflection that should enable more precise advising activities. Teachers
can quickly access information that will better inform them about the students' interests and where they need some more attention or advice.
The ILP will help parents and teachers provide every graduate with an informed plan for transitioning to
the next level of learning and ready to perform at a high level in a chosen career field. The ILP will give
new relevance to what students learn in the classroom and provide more connectedness to the world that
awaits them.
COMPONENTS OF THE STUDENT ILP
ILP Completion Status Bar ILP Completion Standards clearly define objectives and expectations for students' Individual Learning
Plans (ILPs). With the ILP Completion Status Bar, students can view the requirements and track their
progress towards meeting those goals. Clicking on the View Details link to the right of the status bar takes
students to a description of the completion criteria for their grade level and how to complete each section.
Completion Standards help ensure that students keep their ILPs up to date. Each year students must review and revise the required sections of their ILP and reflect on the changes they have made to achieve
completion.
ILP Homepage – Quick Links Options The ILP Homepage is the central point from which students can access all of the features and functions
available in the ILP.
Things to Remember – This section provides an overview of the ILP, including information on
protecting one's privacy.
Personal Profile – This section includes demographic data collected by the state student information system, parent data, and school information. With the exception of student email
addresses, this information cannot be edited by students.
Educational History – Students can document the schools they have attended.
Advisement Log – Advisors and counselors can create an Advisement Log for each student to
track their advisement program over time. Students can view their Advisement Log, but they
cannot add or edit entries.
Annual ILP Review – This section records the Annual ILP Review meeting. Both students and
advisors can record their comments independently. Only the advisor can designate the Review
Status as complete. The Annual ILP Review is included in the ILP Completion Standards for each
grade.
Annual Student Survey – The Annual Student Survey includes 16 to 18 questions about the student’s educational experiences that year. The Annual ILP Review must be completed before
students can answer the survey. The Annual Student Survey is included in the ILP Completion
Standards. Surveys are answered anonymously.
Invite Others to View My ILP / Guest Views (Under development) – Students can invite other
individuals to view selected sections of their ILP. This option can be used to share the ILP with
college admissions officers, organizations offering scholarships, or potential employers. This
feature will only be available to students in grades 9 to 12, and parents may choose to have this
feature disabled for their child.
Schools can enter special contacts to make it easy for students to send invitations to common
recipients, such as the local community college or organizations offering co-op placements.
Other Homepage Options A number of additional features are available on the ILP Homepage.

Receive Messages – Counselors, teachers, and administrators can send messages to students
announcing events or reminders. If students enter an email address in their personal profile, they
will also receive an email copy of the message.

community, or reference resources available to students directly through their ILP.
Student Links – Students can add their own links to resources that they would like to include in their ILP.

essays and presentations, letters of reference, and scanned artwork.
Career Cruising The ILP is fully integrated with the Career Cruising guidance system.
Career Matchmaker – Students can save and view their results from the Career Matchmaker interest inventory, in which students are asked about their likes and dislikes in a variety of areas,
such as working with children, being interested in law, working outdoors. Students receive a list of
40 career suggestions ranked in order of suitability. Students can also save their results from the
My Skills component of Matchmaker.
Careers that Interest Me – Students can bookmark the individual careers that they might be
interested in pursuing and keep notes about each career.
Schools that Interest Me – Students can bookmark the colleges that offer the education and
training they need to achieve their career goals. They can record their comments about each
school.

KPREP (Under development) – KPREP Test results will be integrated into the ILP each year
when they become available.
Standardized Tests – ACT, PLAN, and EXPLORE will be automatically downloaded each year
into the ILP.
Other Assessments – Students can enter their results from a variety of career assessments and
standardized tests.
Goals & Plans Short & Long Term Goals – This section allows students to record and reflect on their short and
long term goals.
Career Clusters of Interest – Kentucky’s 14 Career Clusters have been integrated into Career
Cruising in a number of ways. This section of the ILP allows students to indicate which Career
Clusters are of interest to them and why. Clicking on the name of a cluster provides the student with a brief description as well as links to career profiles that are included within that cluster.
Post-Secondary Goals – This section allows students to bring together their career and education
exploration to create a plan for their post-high school education. Students are asked to prioritize
their career and education interests as well as start thinking about how they plan to pay for their
education.
Career Planning Activities – Students can document the career planning and development
activities in which they have participated, including job shadowing, attending career or college
fairs, internships and co-op placements. The list of available activities has been customized for
Kentucky. It is also tailored for middle school and high school students.
Activities, Experiences & Awards Organizations & Activities – In the Organizations & Activities section, students can detail the
structured extracurricular activities in which they participate.
Hobbies & Interests – The Hobbies & Interests section allows students to record the informal or
independent activities that they enjoy.
