Practical Living and Career Studies-Guest Speaker in Psychology-Demonstrator 4-C and 4-F

Practical Living and Vocational Studies
Curriculum and Instruction
Demonstrator 4: Career Education: Students have equitable access to high quality, rigorous career education curriculum.

C: Career education curriculum is designed to meet the needs of business and industry, which includes the employment, needs of the local work force, as well as job outlook and/or sector strategy data. At the high school level, business and industry partners serve on advisory committees for career education programs.

F: Information about careers is routinely integrated into the total curriculum.


As part of the ongoing learning that takes place in Psychology Class, I invite guest speakers who are trained therapists, psychologists, counselors and such to speak to the students about the job outlook as well as where and how to receive the help they need. On November 10, 2014, I invited Melissa Dixon who is a soon to be graduate in the field of Social Work/Counseling.  She spoke to the students about job outlook, counseling services available and her personal struggles with Depression.  She spike to the students, provided handouts and answered lots of questions.
