Personal Success Plan: Creating an Adulting Roadmap
Challenge your students to create a roadmap for their future with the Personal Success Plan activity! Designed for high school students and easily adapted for adult learners, this project guides students through developing a detailed plan for their adult life. The Personal Success Plan addresses key areas like:
Strengths and interests
Career goals
Education and training
Personal finances
Heath and fitness
Housing and transportation, and more!
Using an easy-to-follow Google Slides or PowerPoint template, students will answer prompts and explore questions that guide them in setting personal goals and planning for their future.
Once completed, students can present their Personal Success Plan to the class. This presentation provides an excellent opportunity to practice public speaking skills and receive feedback from peers, teachers, counselors, administrators, or any other guests you invite!
For students with individualized plans, this project is an excellent tool that they can share during IEP or 504 meetings, providing a concrete starting point for transition planning and future support.

❤️Why Students Love the Personal Success Plan
Few topics are more relevant to teens and young adults than planning for life after high school. This activity helps students uncover their strengths and interests while creating a concrete plan for a successful adulthood. By the end, students will have an outline of their goals, valuable time spent on research and reflection, and a clear set of action steps to get started. Now that’s motivating!
