and understanding the relationship of academics to the world
of work, and to life at home and in the community.
- CAREER DEVELOPMENT - provides
the foundation for the acquisition of skills, attitudes and
knowledge that enable students to make a successful transition
from school to the world of work and from job to job across
the life span. Career development includes the employment
of strategies to achieve future career success and job satisfaction
as well as fostering an understanding of the relationship among
personal qualities, education and training and the world of
work. Career development goals and competencies ensure
that students develop career goals as a result of their participation
in a comprehensive plan of career awareness, exploration and
preparation activities.
- PERSONAL/SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
- provides the foundation for personal and social growth as
students progress through school and into adulthood. Personal/social
development contributes to academic and career success by helping
students understand and respect themselves and others, and acquire
effective interpersonal skills
This is achieved through individual
meetings with students, delivery of developmental guidance lessons,
and variouse presentations/speakers. |
