Educational Development Plans

The counselors worked with the social studies classes for both 7th and 8th grade to help them create their Educational Development Plans (EDPs). A student creates their EDP in 7th grade, and it is a tool that stays with them throughout high school. We use a program called Career Cruising to help students gain insight into future career possibilities. Within their EDP, students are able to save potential career paths, research specific jobs, set/save goals, and much more as they get older. We hope that students will re-visit their EDP throughout the school year (and summer), and share the information with their parents. Here is how a student logs into his/her EDP: 1) Go to careercruising.com 2) Log in with, username: lowell, password: arrows 3) To log in to their personal EDP -- 7th grade: username: las-first initial, middle initial, full last name, and the number 20 password: las + student ID 8th grade: all the same except the number 19 goes after their last name
