Presented by Melissa Mullis and Wendy Chase from Navigate Nides
Melissa is a Learning Support Teacher with a Heartwood community. She explains how your role as the Home Educator/Facilitator changes over the years to support goal setting from working with your young learners, to coaching them, to just checking in!
She offered suggestions for engaging elementary students to build goal setting skills. She also shared tools. Worksheet 1. Worksheet 2.
Wendy is an Academic Advisor/Counsellor. Wendy works with grades 10-12 and adult students. She talked about goals from a different perspective. She introduced the “Grad Plan,” a way NIDES keeps track of the courses required for graduation, and briefly explained how student choice and graduation requirements get woven together with the support of student advisors. Nides really works to personalize students' experiences but there are some Provincial and post secondary requirements to plan towards, if post secondary is a goal. The advisors are there to help students and parents plan towards their graduation goals, whatever they may be.
