STEP

Step is the Issaquah School District curriculum which encompasses both the High School and Beyond Plan and the Culminating Project.

Required works for STEP will be stored in a portfolio kept in the Career Center.  Each year there will be a progress grade of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory on the student’s report card.

In each grade level, students focus on one question:

Who am I?

Students will assess and analyze their interests and skills as they relate to career and college planning.  They will explore careers based on their interests and develop a High School and Beyond Plan.  Students will be introduced to the Career Center resources for career and college planning.  Students will compile information in a resume organizer and write a Reflective Letter which will address how their present and future courses and activities will prepare them to pursue their goals. 

Resources:  Grade 9 student materials, see the Issaquah School District web site.

Educational Technology

Issaquah School District launched one of the state’s first Educational Technology programs when voters made funding possible by approving a 1988 Technology Levy.  Since then, subsequent levies in 1992, 1999, and 2002 have continued funding for technology’s ever-growing importance as a learning and teaching tool.
