Ah, Eighth Grade! The home stretch!
By Eighth Grade, all the students have taken Life Skills classes on emotional awareness, bullying, kindness, stress management, conflict resolution, and more. In the Eighth Grade year, we focus on deeper social skills, mental health, and career development.
My last lesson with them is called "The Joy of Work." We spend time reflecting on personality traits and appitudes. Each student completes an online screener via O*Net Interest Profiler. Then, they get to dive into the data of careers that match their screenings. It's an exciting time!
Happy 8th Grade Year! Good luck and Congrats!
