  30. Considerations: • Do I know who to call on to assist in our ICAP process? • How aware am I, currently, in the various tools and resources that my school has access to that support Career and Academic Planning? • Am I aware of the connections ICAP has with our other statewide initiatives? • From what I already know, how does ICAP and PWR connect to my districts’ / buildings’ strategic plan? • From what I know now, in what way(s) can we strategically implement ICAP to support our own data collection goals and more? • Considering our current education budget crisis, how can our ICAP and PWR process be as innovative, creative, sustainable and resourceful as possible?
