Educational Development Plans (EDPs) are living documents developed by all students to identify career goals and related action plans in alignment with their changing interest and abilities. EDPs help students think about long-term education and career plans. This will also be part of students planning for the courses for next school year, which happens in the spring. We are fortunate to work with the Gratiot-Isabella RESD to develop these plans in a program called Xello. Mr. Woodman and the RESD team will be working with students as follows: November 9th & 10th- 7th grade November 21st- 8th and 9th grades November 22- 10th and 11th grades https://login.xello.world/
