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.
