Thursday & Friday, May 9 & 10, 2019

Dear Class:

• Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
• Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
• Understand the value of self-assessments

We are done with the "Why College".  We are going into the budgeting.  On Thursday and Friday I do want to start looking at the final.  Partly because of the seniors and partly to get a start on it.

1.  Today we will finish exploring what it will take to live on a fixed budget.

Salary Based Budget ~ Follow the slide tutorial found in:

Will My Job Support Me?  a.k.a  Salary Based Budgeting

Complete a monthly budget for a minimum wage earner. You will select one of the following jobs and look up the beginning annual wage on slide 3/Step 2 of the tutorial: waiter/waitress/dishwasher; lawn mower, babysitter/ child care worker, barista, retail clerk, gas station attendant, laborer.  Use the forthcoming minimum wage of  $12.00.

2.  For A day, you will do the second Budget based on the job you included in your resume.  Use the median pay and I should see the payments for students loans based on the amount of debt after 4 years which should be in your "Why College?" documents.

Dear Class:

Learning Targets:
​Students will --

• understand the value of getting a higher education or post-secondary training.

Students will --

• know how to explore post-secondary programs of study
• identify relevant programs of study
• develop a post-secondary education plan.

______________________________________________________________________ 

1.  Today we will finish the "Why College" worksheet.  Link "Why College?".  Make a copy of the document to be filled in.

"A" = 4 colleges, universities, 1 trade school, military or 1 other "learning institutions".
"B" = 3 of the same
"C" = 2 of the same

Some of you will be doing the Trades.  You can do one of the "Learning institutions" as a trade school but you will have to do some community colleges as well since much of the trade training is done at the community college level.  Also, things happen in life and you may need a backup! 

2.  I will also be doing "participation" points for this activity.  If I see that you have done all of your research for the rest of your life in less than 2 periods, then you are not really giving the assignment any type of evaluation and as such I will deduct points for work being done.

1. Section 3 of our key curriculum: Post-secondary Education
   Lookup Programs of Study for your career choice in CIS
   Complete the handout as directed. "Why College?"
2. Complete 3 slides related to post-secondary planning--
   Create a high school course plan- see example.
   Create a post-secondary course plan.
   Summarize in a table your findings about each school researched. 

How to do it?  Go to CIS, sign in.  Go to "Occupations"; "Explore Occupations" and select the occupation you used for your Summary in your resume.  On the left side, go down until you see the "Programs of Study"; select which one.  Select the area of your occupation you are interested in.  On the left side column, choose "Oregon Schools" or "US Schools" to explore and complete the "Why College?" template provided above.

You have to explore at least two schools even if you do not plan on attending a higher institution.  Things happen... sometimes for the better...sometimes for the worse.  You need to be prepared!

I will also be doing "participation" points for this activity.  If I see that you have done all of your research for the rest of your life in less than 2 periods, then you are not really giving the assignment any type of evaluation and as such I will deduct points for work being done.
