BUILDING THE 7-12 PATHWAY
PresentersDoug McCreath (Assistant Superintendent SJCOE) Larry Machado (Counselor) Kathy Ruble (Coordinator Schools-to-Career/ROP) Greg Conway (Science Teacher/Pathway Coordinator)Jasmine Mim (Science Teacher at Sequoia Elementary)
Overview of Presentation• The Outcome/End Product (What We Wanted to Happen)
• Building the Feeder School Relationship
• Career Exploration
• 7-12 Planning Folder
• Science Teacher Collaboration/Curriculum Development
• The Lab (Slicing and Dicing the Pigs)
• Student Interviews (Video)
The Product/Outcome• We wanted clearly defined pathways that students could
investigate and explore beginning in the 7th grade. This exploration was both career and academic.
• We wanted a joint science project with our feeder school teachers that introduced our health science program to the students.
• We wanted a planning folder that clearly outlined options for students…this folder will be introduced to students in the 7th grade and will follow them through the 12th grade.
• We wanted students to begin career and post-secondary exploration in the 7th grade and continue it throughout their educational careers.
Building the Relationship• Nothing better than working in a
unified school district!! MHS has 6 feeder schools.• Two annual meetings with our feeder
school principals (bought them lunch)• Outlined program: showed how it
would benefit them. $$ and other stuff.• Did not waste their time, if we said it
we did it.
Career Exploration
• Starts at the Junior High feeders schoolsPart of Elective Curriculum
• Teacher training:In-service for JH teachersTime-sheeted to attend after school training.Implement in JH elective courses.
• Provide Lesson PlansUse in conjunction with CareerZone.
CareerZone www.cacareerzone.org
Teacher Training
Student Lessons: Part 1
• Students Assess themselves – Quick Assessment:Complete worksheet –
Forces student to research different occupations.
Student Lessons: Part 2
• Reality Check – Budgeting Simulation
Students learn if they will make enough to meet my financial obligations.
Student Lessons: Part 3
• Use CareerZone to create Power Point:• Slide 1: Introduction Slide (your name and grade)• Slide 2: School - name, location, mascot of school you want to attend.• Slide 3: Why you selected this school (major specialization, location, etc.)• Slide 4: Admission – requirements (SAT/ACT Scores, special programs and
deadlines, % of applicants that get accepted)• Slide 5: Finances – tuition, financial aid, and other costs.• Slide 6: Housing – dorm, off-campus, costs, etc.• Slide 7: Student Life – on campus activities, sports programs, clubs, events, • Slide 8: Any of other information you would like to include.
*Present in class
Student Lessons: Part 4
• Summarize Selected Occupation/Making a Career PlanHow students can use high school to
reach career goal:Courses to take – college prep or
vocationalMinimum GPAPost HS Assessments: ASVAB,SAT, ACT,
etc.
