Six small group meetings were held during the fall semester of 2021. Students were given a pre- and post-tests to measure time management and organization, one of the study skills taught in the small group. The green represents pre-small group data and blue represents post-small group data. Students were evaluated on the specifics of how they spend their day, whether they are effectively using their time, and their ability to organize a task and break it into steps.

Collaboration with Parents

In an effort to introduce career exploration and goal setting, we invited parents, siblings, other family members and community members to be a part of speaking panels. Two panels were presented to our students. The first focused on First Generation and the second concentrated on careers. The focus of the panels was for parents (family members) to discuss reasons for their career choice, their training background, goals they set, and any given advice they may have for students. The Career panel was held in our auditorium.
