  1. MANTECA HIGH SCHOOLHEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAM BUILDING THE 7-12 PATHWAY Presenters Doug McCreath (Assistant Superintendent SJCOE) Larry Machado (Counselor) Kathy Ruble (Coordinator Schools-to-Career/ROP) Greg Conway (Science Teacher/Pathway Coordinator) Jasmine Mim (Science Teacher at Sequoia Elementary)

  2. Overview of Presentation • The Outcome/End Product (What We Wanted to Happen) • Building the Feeder School Relationship • Career Exploration • 7-12 Planning Folder • Science Teacher Collaboration/Curriculum Development • The Lab (Slicing and Dicing the Pigs) • Student Interviews (Video)

  3. The Product/Outcome • We wanted clearly defined pathways that students could investigate and explore beginning in the 7th grade. This exploration was both career and academic. • We wanted a joint science project with our feeder school teachers that introduced our health science program to the students. • We wanted a planning folder that clearly outlined options for students…this folder will be introduced to students in the 7th grade and will follow them through the 12th grade. • We wanted students to begin career and post-secondary exploration in the 7th grade and continue it throughout their educational careers.

  4. Building the Relationship • Nothing better than working in a unified school district!! MHS has 6 feeder schools. • Two annual meetings with our feeder school principals (bought them lunch) • Outlined program: showed how it would benefit them. $$ and other stuff. • Did not waste their time, if we said it we did it.

  5. Career Exploration • Starts at the Junior High feeders schools • Part of Elective Curriculum • Teacher training: • In-service for JH teachers • Time-sheeted to attend after school training. • Implement in JH elective courses. • Provide Lesson Plans • Use in conjunction with CareerZone.

  6. CareerZonewww.cacareerzone.org

  7. Teacher Training

  8. Student Lessons: Part 1 • Students Assess themselves – Quick Assessment: • Complete worksheet – • Forces student to research different occupations.

  9. Student Lessons: Part 2 • Reality Check – Budgeting Simulation • Students learn if they will make enough to meet my financial obligations.

  10. Student Lessons: Part 3 • Use CareerZone to create Power Point: • Slide 1: Introduction Slide (your name and grade) • Slide 2: School - name, location, mascot of school you want to attend. • Slide 3: Why you selected this school (major specialization, location, etc.) • Slide 4: Admission – requirements (SAT/ACT Scores, special programs and deadlines, % of applicants that get accepted) • Slide 5: Finances – tuition, financial aid, and other costs. • Slide 6: Housing – dorm, off-campus, costs, etc. • Slide 7: Student Life – on campus activities, sports programs, clubs, events, • Slide 8: Any of other information you would like to include. *Present in class

  11. Student Lessons: Part 4 • Summarize Selected Occupation/Making a Career Plan • How students can use high school to reach career goal: • Courses to take – college prep or vocational • Minimum GPA • Post HS Assessments: ASVAB,SAT, ACT, etc.
