Get Focused...
It starts when all students develop a meaningful and quantitative online10-year Plan in a one-semester Freshman Transition or Student Success course their freshman year of high school or college. In high school, the online10-year plan, will be systematically updated in the 10th, 11th and 12th grades. This plan is used for academic coaching and advisory efforts throughout high school and into college. The planning process will provide the impetus to motivate students to stay in school (high school and college) and achieve a self-sufficient and productive life.

...Stay Focused!
Once students complete their online 10-year Plans in 9th grade, targeted classroom-based lessons in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades ensure students stay focused on their goals. These three 16-lesson modules provide students with a "touch-point" at each grade of high school to help them transition seamlessly to their post-secondary goal.

Each workbook comes with access to an online Get Focused Stay Focused area so student begin their work in their consumable workbook and then complete their work online in an interactive area of My10yearPlan.com.
