How can I help my child progress on his or her career path?
11) Creating an educational plan
In 2005, Harris Interactive polled over 1,200 eight to seventeen year olds. This survey revealed that our youth believe
having goals is important to achieving success. Unfortunately, one-third of them do not feel prepared to develop a plan
to achieve their goals. The obstacles they reported were:



Not knowing how to get started.
Deciding what their goals are.
Fear of trying to achieve their goals and failing.
Planning is an important part of school, work, and life. Yet there are few situations in which your children are actually
taught what a plan is or how to plan. Even students who have personal or career goals often move from middle school to
high school to postsecondary education and work without a well-conceived plan. Plans help connect the present with the
future; and research has consistently demonstrated that connecting school to one's future has positive consequences for
young people.
Oregon now requires that all students have an education plan in order to graduate from high school. This requirement
recognizes that planning helps students succeed in school and out. It encourages students to explore who they are and
where they want to go, and set a course consistent with those goals. It is at the heart of personalized, active, and meaningful education.
As a parent, you can help your children develop plans to achieve their goals and support those efforts in their schools.
Middle school plans
Middle school is time for exploring. The education plan during middle school supports your children's examination of
themselves and their options. It sets in motion, through short-term goals and action steps, a process of discovery, investigation, and reflection.
As noted in Ingredients of Career Planning, career plans answer five basic questions. Your middle school child should
approach these questions with the following emphasis:
1. Who am I? Middle school childr en ar e in the midst of major changes - they are rapidly developing physical-

ly, mentally, emotionally, and socially. They need affirmation and approval, yet independence, from you. Their
energies are internally focused, and this can help them reflect on their talents, interests, values, and beliefs with
curiosity and attention. Their education plan should identify who they are now and what they want to do to expand that self-awareness.
Where am I going? Middle school is a time for dr eaming about the futur e - life seems full of possibilities to
most youngsters at this stage of their lives. Help your children articulate their dreams. Then help them explore
those dreams through experiences and research. Their education plan should describe actions they will take to
clarify their dreams.
How do I get there? By explor ing how they can r each their dr eams, your childr en will begin to develop
concrete connections between now and the future. Their education plan should begin to lay out the various paths
they could take to reach their dreams. If they have many dreams, encourage them to look at all of them and identify the commonalities.
What are my next steps? Once your childr en can visualize a path into their futur e, they can wor k on the
here and now. Their education plan should set some realistic short-term goals that help them move toward their
dreams. Since they will be entering high school after completion of eighth grade, the plan should include a list of
courses and other activities that they will pursue when they move onto high school.
Where am I now? Your childr en need to r evisit their goals at r egular inter vals. Have they changed? Do
they have new dreams? Did they achieve their short-term goals? Should they change their plan or take some new
action to move toward their goals? Their education plan should invite ongoing reflection and revision. The plan
should grow and develop as they grow and develop.
