They support the Individual Pathways Plan (IPP) completion for all grades 7 and 8 students. They also help students identify their personal interests, strengths, needs, and aspirations and use this knowledge of themselves to make informed choices of programs and provide learning opportunities. These teachers provide experiences for students to learn more about all postsecondary destinations \u2014 apprenticeship training, college, community living, university, and the workplace. The Elementary Guidance\/Pathways teachers also support grade 8 transition to high school. They work collaboratively with Secondary Guidance, Graduation Coaches, Student Success, SERTs, and Administrators.
