The L’Anse High School Guidance Program is a comprehensive model consisting of four components. Although the emphasis is on the individual student planning portion, all four components are important to the success of the program.

Individual Student Planning: During individual student planning; students will evaluate their educational, occupational, and personal goals. Assistance will be provided in the following three areas:

Individual appraisal: Analyzing and evaluating student abilities, interests, skills, and achievements. Development and review of Education Development Plans (EDPs)

Individual advisement: Advise student use of personal/social, educational, career and labor market information in planning personal, educational, and career goals. Involvement of students, parents, guardians, and school personnel is critical.

Transitions: Assist students in making the transition from school-to-school, school-to-work, or school to higher education or career/technical training.

Responsive Services: Activities to meet immediate needs and concerns of students whether these needs or concerns require counseling, consultation, referral, or information.

Guidance Curriculum: The Guidance Curriculum component allows for academic, career, and personal/social development. This will be achieved through classroom lessons, interdisciplinary curriculum development, and group activities.

Systems Support: Management activities that establish, maintain, and enhance the guidance program. Professional development, consultation/collaboration with staff and community, and program management are a few ways to develop this component.
