PLAN®

PLAN® is designed to provide tenth-graders with measures of their attainment of knowledge and complex critical thinking skills acquired in the early years of high school. All of these skills are necessary for success in later education and/or careers in the 21st century. Assessment results assist students/parents/educators in decision-making about educational career plans, interest, and high school course work plans.

The PLAN test ® generates measures of English, mathematics, reading and science skills. Information provided by PLAN® can help identify students’ strengths and weaknesses to prepare them for the world that awaits them upon graduation.

In addition, information about students' educational career plans, interest, high school course work plans and self-identified needs for assistance are also gathered and reported. West Virginia Board of Education Policy 2510: Assuring the Quality of Education – Regulations for Education Programs requires students to choose career majors and to create the second part of their individual student transition plans establishing a career major by the end of the tenth grade. Results from PLAN can be used by 10th graders to develop their individual transition plans for grades eleven through post-secondary.

PLAN® results can be used by 10th graders to make selections in their coursework to help ensure that they are prepared for what they want to do after high school. Also, results from PLAN® can be used to predict how well students will do in selected AP courses.
