Monday - March 9th!?!?



Good Morning, Happy Monday!!!  I hope you had a great weekend and that you enjoyed our final mentor meeting of the school year on Friday.  Today we are going to kick off the morning with a quick reflection of your weekend and that event!!


  • You know, back in October, before our very first mentor meeting I asked you what a mentor was.  Based on your experience this year, what is a mentor?
  • What was your favorite part of the mentor meetings (besides the food!!)
  • What was one thing you wish was different about the program?
  • If you could work with anyone on anything who would that be and what would you be focusing on?  Do you think it matters who you are working with?  Why or why not?
  • Do you think you would want to work with a mentor again in the future?  Would you want to work with the same mentor?  Why or why not?  Remember - this is a public post so be conscious of that as you write it up.
Now, that we've got that out of the way, here's what we are moving onto today.  First, please complete one lesson in Edutyping.  You should be on Unit 2, Lesson 3.1.  In addition, we are going to continue with our career PowerPoint.  You can find all of the details and directions in Schoology.  Today you will be taking the 3 matching occupations you found after completing your career interest profile and you will narrow that down to 1 occupation.  For that one occupation I am requesting that you:

  • Click on that career & explore all the information in the new window for that career.
  • Explore the career under all the tabs: 
  • Read the Job Description, and Watch the video (under Overview) 
  • Go to the Tasks & Activities Tab and read all that you’ll do 
I recognize this is time consuming and requires focus (you have to read) but this is something that is valuable for you as you start planning your pathway to your future. On your PowerPoint slide you will need to summarize what this job, or career, does based on your readings including adding data about the amount of money people in this career earn in California ... an important factor to make sure it will support your lifestyle.
