K-12 Guidance and Counseling Curriculum - In Partnership with Career and Technical Education

Vision:

Upon graduation, all Mesa Public Schools (MPS) students will be ready to meet their college/career goals.

Mission:

Through classroom lessons, small group activities, data analysis, and programs and interventions, our school counselors

ensure that ALL students have the academic, career, and personal/social skills they need to be successful.

Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP)

Board of Education approved Education and Career Action Plans for all Arizona students grades 9-12 (R7-2-302.05). “Effective for the graduation class of 2013, schools shall complete for every student in grades 9-12 an Arizona Education and Career Action Plan.”

Arizona Philosophy ~

We as educators believe that integrating an Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP) process into all facets of the school experience enables students to be lifelong learners and problem-solvers, developing and applying 21st century skills to their life experiences, as students, as workers, as consumers, and as responsible citizens.

With the ability to identify skills and interests and to apply that knowledge to create their own ECAP, our students will have developed needed skills to advance in a more fluid, seamless transition, meeting 21st Century technologies and work place postsecondary requirements.
