Wednesday & Thursday, September 18 & 19, 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

1.   Do  FreeWrite assignment # 5 "How strong is your character"  slide.  Do only  3-5 traits you have or would like to push for.  Take a look at the results and I will work with you on it in class.  Take a look at what jobs they recommend regarding the characters you choose. 

2.   Sign into CIS and go to the saved assessments.  Open up the "Interest Profiler" and restore it.   Go to the top ranked one and click on it.  It will show you the jobs that are within that profile.  Please select between the jobs presented.  If your next ranked "Interest Profile" is close in percentile, you can search that one as well if there are no jobs within the parameters you might be interested in.  Please write one to three paragraphs.

Choose three jobs that you feel would fit you and copy them below the Interest Profile snapshot.  Explain in two paragraphs why this "Interest" fits you and why you feel these jobs are within your realm.


3.  Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.  To do this, we will be looking at "Reality Check" which is under the "Occupations" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Your name_Reality_Check".  We will explore this later  as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!

4.   You need to know the vocabulary.  B

Monday & Tuesday, September 16 & 17, 2019

Dear Class: (2-8 & 11)

 Learning Targets:

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.

​
Activities: Students you will work on the following today: 

1.  Warm-Up:  

• Warm-Up: Take the Meyer's Briggs survey. Copy and paste your results into a Google document: Create a doc and label it:  Meyers_Briggs.  We will be further exploring this in more detail later.  Go to "Career Choices" on the right side and then Screen Shot it and crop it.

Take the Briggs/Meyers/Jung test at this link.

2.  We will be doing the CIS "Interest Profiler" that is at the website for CIS The user name is "ddouglas" and the password is "ddhs".  Create an account by going to "My Portfolio".   For your user name, use your student id.  For the password, use your first initial of your first name in capital letter, first letter of your last name in lower case, and then your student id.

Go to the tab "Explore Resources", then "Occupations", then"Tools for Occupation",  then "Interest Profiler" (not the short one!).  Answer all 172 questions to the best of your ability and then copy and paste the screen(s) (whole thing will not fit on one page) into a document you created named "Interest_Profiler".  Look at jobs suggested for your top.  You are going to pick three of them and write a work of art based on why!!!

We will go over the shared documents you produced.
 
Side Note:  If an assignment asks for minimum of 3-5 sentences, that is a D/C-.  I look at "A" work as 3-4 in depth paragraphs.  A "B" would be 2-3 paragraphs and a "C" would be a strong paragraph of "Thorough reflection of the assignment.  You can elect to get college credit for this class.  I make notations in my book regarding your effort for each assignment.  This class will be one of the most important classes you will take.  I am giving you time to "explore".  There is generally no "Right or Wrong" here...rather an opportunity to explore.  This is "Participation".  If you cease to work on an assignment in class and I see that, I will grade the work at that particular time and take into consideration the time and effort put into the work!
