Seniors participate in self exploration activities in order to insure that their post secondary plans are in alignment with their personal interests, skills and goals. Topics included in this new and vital course of study are college and career considerations; completion of online common applications including SUNY, understanding the significance of internships, resume building, procedures requesting letters of recommendation and various other facets of the college path are reviewed. ( ie. essay writing, financial aid, college representative visits).
Interview techniques and personal communication skills necessary for employment or college are practiced and hopefully perfected. The completion of the community service verification sheets is also included in the course syllabus. This class is co-taught by Social Studies teacher William Miller and Guidance Director Michael Therio.
There is no doubt that the content provided by the textbook and these instructors will enable our students a smoother transition to life beyond the walls of North Warren.
