TYM0101 CAREER PATHWAYS WHEEL: NRTH -NATURAL RESOURCES/ TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY (Semester)
The elective is offered to 7th and 8th graders and they will be enrolled in this class for the semester. He/she will be able to have a deeper exploration of the career and jobs available in the natural resources, tourism and hospitality field.
The concept of farm-to-table will be the vehicle that drives our program. Farm-to-table will allow us to grow and harvest vegetables from our gardens and use them in cooking dishes for students to experience and consume. Our culminating task will be a foodie experience at a "Paina" that we will invite our parents and friends to taste the fruits of labor at the end of the school year.
Another key area of our program will be the aquaponic and grow tower system; which will be utilized for our culminating task. We want students to experience sustainability firsthand and the numerous ways to grow our food. During this process, we will also incorporate the tourism component as well as the hospitality component.
The school’s vision is to empower, explore, excel together. This program will allow the students to have the tools, experience, and knowledge of these pathways. They will be able to register for one of these pathways during freshman year at JCHS. Collaboration and articulation will be done to align the middle school and high school for these electives.
