If this Wisconsin ACP logo looks unique, it's because rural and small districts have unique challenges and advantages. We also have limited time and resources.  

These shared documents and templates are specific to rural and are available to use, modify, make specific to your school.  Templates are not part of DPI's plan-- they want ACP to be your own so feel free to make them your own! Think of this as a place to start.
How to use these resources:  you will need a Google account, such as gmail.  Start by making an "ACP Website" folder in your Google Drive to keep things organized.  Make copies of each resources and save to your ACP Website folder; then link your the resource items to your school's new ACP site.  If you get stuck, there's probably someone at your school who's a Google expert.

Community Involvement
Survey employers in your county and area.  Get input on how schools can best prepare students for the workforce.  If neighboring schools share the same employers, work together to get employer input. 
​Survey follow up-- invite employers to a listening session where they can discuss concerns; share results with staff and administration to guide in curriculum and policy. 
Employability Skills Survey
Employment in your area
"An analysis of local, regional, and state labor market needs and the education and training needed to fill those jobs" would be difficult to compile and keep up to date.  Luckily Worknet Wisconsin does that.  Add this link and image to your ACP site.

ACP Website Logos
Place one of these two logos on your school website to be a visual link to your new ACP website. When your ACP website is ready, send the logo and a link to your site to your school website manager, they'll be able to take care of the rest. 

​Small and rural schools are already masters of the ACP concept!
We know our students well and work to promote their skills and interests.
