What is college and career readiness? Students graduating from high school prepared to enter and succeed in post-secondary opportunities, whether college or career.

Why is it important? By the year 2025, over 75% of all careers will require post-secondary education or certification. Some may have heard the term ICAP in conjunction with CCR.

What is an ICAP? Individual Career and Academic Plan

A multi-year process developed by students along with parents and school staff to guide students as they explore their own career and academic opportunities. Actively engages students to understand their interests, strengths and values; to create a vision of their future; to develop individual goals; and to prepare a personal plan for achieving their vision and goals.

Tuttle will be a phase 2 pilot district for the 2018-19 school year Used to help establish personalized academic and career goals, explore post-secondary career and educational opportunities, align course work and curriculum, apply to post-secondary institutions, secure financial aid, and ultimately enter the workforce.
