Distance Learning

Distance Learning Introduction

During the pandemic, we opted to take the distance learning module for our Career Laboratory. We started with a theme of “Overall Wellness” and wanted to address students’ basic needs while infusing College and Career Readiness. In uncertain times it is important to exert control, make plans, and develop a sense of balance. The below learning is a starting point for achieving wellness, and we are focused on continuous improvement.

Nutritional Wellness (Kitchen Basics)

Knowing your students would now be home, outside of regular food preparation routines, we wanted to address their potential role in the kitchen. We want them to be safe, successful and celebrated in their attempts to prepare food for themselves and others.

Environmental Wellness (Home Safety)

Overall safety and security in their home. How can your students help around their homes? The lessons include preparing for emergencies, fire safety, estimating, and making checklists to distribute jobs and seasonal tasks.

Overall Health and Wellness

With a deeper focus on health and the individuals who provide healthcare, students will explore healthcare careers and their responsibility for their wellness. They will study and identify communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Occupational Wellness

Students will explore their interests to determine their top three career interests and the means to achieve them.

Financial Wellness

Students will evaluate scenarios to determine the uses of credit and the overall effect on financial wellness.
