There are many pathways to success and all students can be successful. At the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), our students can choose from a variety of pathways to suit their interests, strengths and goals.
Learn how you can start building your pathway today with our Individual Pathways Plan (IPP) in myBlueprint.
What is a pathway?
A pathway is a range of courses and programs that help you meet your needs and prepare for your initial post-secondary destination, including:
- Apprenticeship
- College
- Community living
- University
- Workplace
Create your pathway using myBlueprint
To create your IPP, log into myBlueprint using your GECDSB School Account Login. This is the same e-mail and password you use to log in to school computers.
If you have any questions about creating your pathway plan, or logging in to myBlueprint, contact your Guidance Counsellor or Student Success Teacher.
What is myBlueprint?
myBlueprint is an education and career planning platform designed to support students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, and even into post-secondary, with personalized learning, reflection, and future planning tools. Students use myBlueprint to build their pathways and select their courses.
