Singley Academy Career Exploration Fair
Singley Academy Career Exploration Fair
Based on data from our beginning of the year needs assessment, we found that students expressed that they needed more knowledge and exposure regarding college and career readiness, In response counselors sponsored a Career Exploration Fair in May 2023. The career fair included local government organizations such as Irving PD and Irving Fire Department. There were also representatives from the Dallas College, military, and local businesses. These local businesses offered students an opportunity to explore careers and some businesses offered an opportunity to gain employment over the summer. We use yearly needs assessment data as a guide to prepare data driven lessons and activities.
