Academic Advisory 10

Description:

The Advisory 10 course is a continuation of the 9th grade Advisory course. During the Academic/College and Career Exploration Unit, students complete the ACT Career Discover Program, research university options, review course selection options for AP/IB/ACS Authentic programs of study, finalize their 4-year plans and continue to work on their Digital Portfolio.

The Wellness Unit on Social/Emotional Health and Well-being encourages students to explore healthy life choices, develop coping skills in response to stress, manage peer pressure and enhance their interpersonal skills. Throughout the semester, students answer the question, “How do I impact the world and how does the world impact me?”

This course culminates in a 10th Grade Capstone Project, in which students investigate a contemporary issue under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Students eventually produce a 1,500 word research paper based on a creative project that is displayed in a school exhibition at the end of the semester.
