  6. The 4-Year Plan

  7. Career Development Standards: 1. Act as a responsible and contributing citizen and employee: By learning what is available, students responsibly choose courses in order to contribute to society. 2. Apply appropriate academic and technical skills: Assessments are done online allowing students to use their technical skills. The students are also being academically appropriate by choosing their courses. 3. Attend to personal health and financial well-being: By allowing the students to make a tentative 4-year plan, they are allowing their stress level to go down. 4. Communicate clearly, effectively and with reason: Allowing students to responsibly choose their future classes, they can clearly communicate what the future holds for them. 5. Consider the environmental, social and economic impacts of decisions: Learn through the Jenga game. 6. Demonstrate creativity and innovation: Using new ways of thinking about the future. 7. Employ valid and reliable research strategies: By using assessments, students can learn and research where their interests could take them. 8. Utilize critical thinking to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them: By taking the time now to formulate a plan, students will be able to maintain a better view of their future. 9. Model integrity, ethical leadership and effective management: Allow the students to manage their future. 10. Plan education and career path aligned to personal goals: Make a plan and go for it! 11. Use technology to enhance productivity: Use the available resources, such as assessments. 12. Work productively in team while using cultural/global competence: Allow students to work with others in their team to obtain their future.

  8. So this leads me to where our partnerships are in the community. Obviously, we are in partnership with various schools, such as the middle school, high school, CWC (for their nursing program/auto tech/etc.), as well as community businesses. This plan could be scaled down to as low a grade as 6th grade up to college age. Evaluation: The 4-year plan would be looked at every year, or at other times depending on when the student wants to.
