Throughout the year, we will meet with each grade level to deliver evidence-based and developmentally appropriate lessons. These lessons may include topics such as stress management, organizational skills, mindfulness, study strategies, career exploration, etc. We have provided more information about each lesson below.
In our first lesson, we introduce ourselves and other key aspects of the counseling program. At the very end, we help students join their grade level specific Google Classroom that we will be utilizing to push information out throughout the year.
The following goals are for the 2-day lesson we conducted with 8th graders.
Students will understand what a GPA is and be able to calculate theirs.
Students will comprehend the importance of a transcript.
Students will be able to identify the 5 different Endorsements.
Students will differentiate Endorsements and Programs of Study.
Students will identify the graduation requirements.
Students will create their PGPs.
Afterwards, students had the opportunity to go to the high school to learn more about the Programs of Study offered. We will continue to refine their PGPs based on their interests, parent collaboration, and advice from their high school counselor.
