INTRODUCTION

As you begin the process of selecting classes and preparing for the future, we encourage you to

use the information contained in this catalog to guide your course selection. If you are new to this process

and have additional questions, please contact the guidance office at the school. The charts listed in the next few pages will provide a summary of the different levels of curriculum that are available, as well as

the various career majors and courses that are offered. These course offerings are subject to change based

upon availability of teachers and staffing requirements.

Letcher County Central High School is a fully accredited high school as evaluated by the

Kentucky Department of Education and Advance Ed/Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. We

offer students a wide variety of classes and 3 general course programs to meet graduation requirements:

Minimum Requirements, Pre-College Curriculum, and the Honors/Advanced Placement Curriculum. Each

career cluster, area of concentration, and major offered in our school can be earned using multiple

pathways. However, only those students completing a minimum of the Pre-College Curriculum may be

eligible for special honors during graduation.

Minimum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for students who are to enter the work

force or military after graduation. Students can easily meet Pre-college curriculum requirements by adding

two years of foreign language.

Pre-college Curriculum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for students who plan to

further their education after high school by enrolling in a 2 or 4 year college, or in a career/technical school.

Honors/Advanced Placement Curriculum Requirements - This curriculum program is intended for

students who plan to attend 4 years or more of college and want the opportunity to earn college credit at the

high school level.

Promotion and Classification

9th GRADE - 0 to 4 CREDITS



12th GRADE - 17+ CREDITS

GRADUATION - 24 CREDITS

Commonwealth Diploma As of June 2013, the Commonwealth Diploma is no longer issued by the state.

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING PLAN

Career Planning and Individual Learning Plans Career planning is an important part of career development and charting your future. One

component of this process is the development of an Individual Learning Plan. Beginning with the class of

2002, each Kentucky high school student must complete an Individual Learning Plan. The plan should

begin in the 6th grade, but no later than the 8th grade, to help you in planning and making decisions

regarding your future. You will focus on career goals, select an appropriate career or career cluster and

choose the academic and career/technical courses necessary to meet these goals. The ILP can also help you

focus on the connection between course work and goals after high school. Additionally, the ILP process

gets your parents involved in the academic and career decisions that will help you determine your future. The Individual Learning Plan brings your academic and career needs into sharper focus.

Therefore, these goals are continually re-evaluated throughout the high school years to reflect any

changes or needs you may have. The ILP will make certain that you have the best chance to reach

and possibly go beyond the goals you have set for yourself. Listed below is some further

information which will hopefully answer any questions you have about the ILP process. As

always, you can contact a school administrator or counselor if you have any questions.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE ILP?

Since the ILP is now web-enabled, it will provide more tools and opportunities for the student than the IGP

could in its paper-based form. It has many features and resources that involve students on a variety of levels:

-Exploring careers beginning in the 6th grade

-Finding careers that match their skills and interests

-Creating education plans

-Establishing personal goals and revisit these as they progress through school

-Creating, maintaining and changing resumes

-Tracking and reflecting on their community services experiences, work experiences, career-planning

activities, and extra-curricular and organization activities

-Exploring colleges and postsecondary opportunities that match their career, postsecondary and life goals

-Connecting to the GoHigherKY.org Web site for help with college planning, tuition assistance information

and applications

-Collecting personal information like assessment results, advising activities demographic information and

educational history

Research shows that teachers can become better connected with student interests and can provide more

individual attention or advice to students when it's needed when there is a process in place to give students

individual attention. The ILP will be invaluable to high schools, middle schools and districts as they plan

course offerings and staffing to meet the academic and career interests of students.

HOW DO COUNSELORS/TEACHERS/ADVISORS/PARENTS USE MY ILP?

The ILP will play a key role in the advising component of the students' education. Students will be

able to engage in advising and guidance specific to their educational goals based around the ILP. The new


6

tool will allow students to upload documents they feel are representative of their educational experience

and level that could be viewed by anyone they wish.

Teachers could use this tool to better know their students. Teachers as advisors will have the opportunity to

record advising topics, notes and reflection that should enable more precise advising activities. Teachers

can quickly access information that will better inform them about the students' interests and where they need some more attention or advice.

The ILP will help parents and teachers provide every graduate with an informed plan for transitioning to

the next level of learning and ready to perform at a high level in a chosen career field. The ILP will give

new relevance to what students learn in the classroom and provide more connectedness to the world that

awaits them.

COMPONENTS OF THE STUDENT ILP

ILP Completion Status Bar ILP Completion Standards clearly define objectives and expectations for students' Individual Learning

Plans (ILPs). With the ILP Completion Status Bar, students can view the requirements and track their

progress towards meeting those goals. Clicking on the View Details link to the right of the status bar takes

students to a description of the completion criteria for their grade level and how to complete each section.

Completion Standards help ensure that students keep their ILPs up to date. Each year students must review and revise the required sections of their ILP and reflect on the changes they have made to achieve

completion.

ILP Homepage – Quick Links Options The ILP Homepage is the central point from which students can access all of the features and functions

available in the ILP.

Things to Remember – This section provides an overview of the ILP, including information on

protecting one's privacy.

Personal Profile – This section includes demographic data collected by the state student information system, parent data, and school information. With the exception of student email

addresses, this information cannot be edited by students.

Educational History – Students can document the schools they have attended.

Advisement Log – Advisors and counselors can create an Advisement Log for each student to

track their advisement program over time. Students can view their Advisement Log, but they

cannot add or edit entries.

Annual ILP Review – This section records the Annual ILP Review meeting. Both students and

advisors can record their comments independently. Only the advisor can designate the Review

Status as complete. The Annual ILP Review is included in the ILP Completion Standards for each

grade.

Annual Student Survey – The Annual Student Survey includes 16 to 18 questions about the student’s educational experiences that year. The Annual ILP Review must be completed before

students can answer the survey. The Annual Student Survey is included in the ILP Completion

Standards. Surveys are answered anonymously.

Invite Others to View My ILP / Guest Views (Under development) – Students can invite other

individuals to view selected sections of their ILP. This option can be used to share the ILP with

college admissions officers, organizations offering scholarships, or potential employers. This

feature will only be available to students in grades 9 to 12, and parents may choose to have this

feature disabled for their child.

Schools can enter special contacts to make it easy for students to send invitations to common

recipients, such as the local community college or organizations offering co-op placements.

Other Homepage Options A number of additional features are available on the ILP Homepage.


7

Receive Messages – Counselors, teachers, and administrators can send messages to students

announcing events or reminders. If students enter an email address in their personal profile, they

will also receive an email copy of the message.

School & District Links – Schools and districts can make links to online career, education,

community, or reference resources available to students directly through their ILP.

Student Links – Students can add their own links to resources that they would like to include in their ILP.

My Documents – The My Documents section of the ILP allows students to store files such as

essays and presentations, letters of reference, and scanned artwork.

Career Cruising The ILP is fully integrated with the Career Cruising guidance system.

Career Matchmaker – Students can save and view their results from the Career Matchmaker interest inventory, in which students are asked about their likes and dislikes in a variety of areas,

such as working with children, being interested in law, working outdoors. Students receive a list of

40 career suggestions ranked in order of suitability. Students can also save their results from the

My Skills component of Matchmaker.

Careers that Interest Me – Students can bookmark the individual careers that they might be

interested in pursuing and keep notes about each career.

Schools that Interest Me – Students can bookmark the colleges that offer the education and

training they need to achieve their career goals. They can record their comments about each

school.

Assessment Results This section of the ILP will be available later.

KPREP (Under development) – KPREP Test results will be integrated into the ILP each year

when they become available.

Standardized Tests – ACT, PLAN, and EXPLORE will be automatically downloaded each year

into the ILP.

Other Assessments – Students can enter their results from a variety of career assessments and

standardized tests.

Goals & Plans Short & Long Term Goals – This section allows students to record and reflect on their short and

long term goals.

Career Clusters of Interest – Kentucky’s 14 Career Clusters have been integrated into Career

Cruising in a number of ways. This section of the ILP allows students to indicate which Career

Clusters are of interest to them and why. Clicking on the name of a cluster provides the student with a brief description as well as links to career profiles that are included within that cluster.

Post-Secondary Goals – This section allows students to bring together their career and education

exploration to create a plan for their post-high school education. Students are asked to prioritize

their career and education interests as well as start thinking about how they plan to pay for their

education.

Career Planning Activities – Students can document the career planning and development

activities in which they have participated, including job shadowing, attending career or college

fairs, internships and co-op placements. The list of available activities has been customized for

Kentucky. It is also tailored for middle school and high school students.

Activities, Experiences & Awards Organizations & Activities – In the Organizations & Activities section, students can detail the

structured extracurricular activities in which they participate.

Hobbies & Interests – The Hobbies & Interests section allows students to record the informal or

independent activities that they enjoy.

Community Service – Students can document their community service learning experiences,

including the number of hours they have completed and the name of their reference or supervisor.


8

Related files, such as a letter of reference or timesheet, can be uploaded and linked to particular

records.

Work Experiences – This section allows students to maintain a record of their work experiences,

including uploading related files.

Awards & Recognitions – Students can list the awards, certificates, and recognitions that they

have received.

Education Plan Select Your Courses - The Four-Year Education Plan enables students to record the high school

courses that they have taken, are taking now, or plan to take in the future, including expanded

learning opportunities.

Graduation Requirements – Students can view Graduation Requirements as they plan

their course selections. Schools can implement the Kentucky Minimum Graduation Requirements or they can add customized diploma program requirements. Multiple

diploma options can be implemented through the School ILP Administration Tool for

students to view all available graduation plans.

Diploma Options – Student can indicate whether they plan to pursue the Commonwealth

Diploma or the State Scholars Diploma.

Learning Services The Learning Services section of the ILP allows students to record details about learning options

or programs that they participate in, both inside and outside of school. This could include Gifted

and Talented programs, limited English proficiency options, private tutoring, and other services.

Print & Export Options Students can select which sections of their ILP they would like to include in the Printer-Friendly

Report for their ILP.

Resume Builder The ILP also includes a Resume Builder, which takes information students have already entered in

their ILP and helps them create a customized resume. Students can choose from a variety of styles

and can select the order in which the sections appear, allowing them to create chronological,

functional or combined format resumes. The resume can be printed from a web browser or

exported as a Word, text, or html file.

and list this cluster on their Individual Learning Plan (ILP) upon their enrollment. Students can, with parent /guardian

permission, change their cluster selection during anytime that schedule changes are allowed. Listed below, with a brief
