ACP Student Lessons

Wisconsin ACP Student Lessons - Grades 6-12 Now Available!

Are you looking for ready-made lessons that you can use immediately with students in either a face-to-face or virtual environment? Thanks to ACP grant work done by CESAs 6, 7, 8, and 9 through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, teachers can find student-facing ACP lessons which follow the Xello scope and sequence recommendations.  Grades 6-8 rely heavily on Xello access, while the high school lessons work on integrating other career readiness resources with Xello.

Districts in the initiating phase of Academic and Career Planning are increasingly looking for a suggested calendar of ACP activities that can be used to fulfill the PI26 requirements for ACP. The following example calendar of activities can be a place to start. In the chart you’ll find:
  • One 30-minute ACP time per month
  • Activities which align to the Xello scope and sequence  (which means alignment with   high school suggested scope and sequence)
  • Introduction to other online career research resources
  • Some Xello interactive lessons which require students to save careers or interests as prerequisites--please follow the lessons in this order to have the correct prerequisites completed before the Xello lessons
  • Struggling students may need additional time to complete activities, while accelerated students can choose from the optional activities for each grade if they complete the activity before class is done
  • Optional activities which can be used for enrichment

Best practice shows that the power of ACP for students is in discussions with a trusted adult mentor. Plan additional ACP time or work with core-area teachers to plan follow-up discussions on careers during the school year. Each interactive Xello lesson is accompanied by suggested discussion prompts.
