Text Box: What is all this talk about IGPs? An Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) is just what it say’s, a plan. An IGP is an education plan established to help assist a student achieve his or her specific education and career goals while promoting maximum educational possibilities. During an IGP conference the student will discuss long term goals such as post-secondary education and career goals as well as short term goals such as chosen high school “majors” (areas of interest) and classes. It is then discussed with the student how he or she can plan his/her coursework to assist in achieving these goals. In 2005, law came into effect under the Economic and Education Development Act (EEDA) that requires students from 2011 and beyond to participate in an Individual Graduation Plan Conference with a Guidance Counselor each academic year. It is also requested by the state that parent/guardian(s) of each student also attend the IGP conference once EVERY ACADEMIC YEAR. For more information visit SC Department of Education Website. Parent involvement is great when it comes to planning an IGP. First, it keeps the parent up-to-date with activities and classes at school as well his/her child’s career and educational interests. It also allows parents to ask face-to-face questions with the Guidance Counselor in regards to their child’s education plan. It gives parents a greater sense of involvement with their children’s educational and career plans. For more information about your IGP conference please contact your Guidance Counselor at 843-664-8197.
